Passion

September 24, 2019 by sara Leave a Comment

Remember the difference between your professional mission and your personal purpose.  I read this in an awesome book I finished recently entitled Manage Your Day-to-Day: Build Your Routine, Find Your Focus & Sharpen Your Creative Mind. Holy long title but very short and solid read for any human wanting to do any of those things. […]

New Friends

July 11, 2017 by sara Leave a Comment

In April I wrote about old friends and how great they are. I was emotional, admittedly, because emotions are always sort of cray for us Hokies around middle of April, especially when it comes to thinking about friends and friendships. But because I like to be fair [do I? I don’t know. Maybe I don’t. […]

Minimalism

June 27, 2017 by sara Leave a Comment

I feel like minimalism is having a moment lately. Like, everyone is ready Marie Kondo and doing things like donating or getting rid of one item a day, or trying to create a Spring Capsule Wardrobe. Hi, my name is Sara and I’m on the minimalist train. But I’m also a huge hoarder of memories, […]

Boobs

June 20, 2017 by sara Leave a Comment

Yes it’s about boobs. Growing up, I was the child that caused other parents to wonder things about my mother. Namely, does she feed that girl? Like, food? I had all manner of “petite girl” nicknames: toothpick, skinny mini, and etc. uncreative phrases about girls who are very thin. I also ate my weight in […]

Old Friends

April 16, 2017 by sara 1 Comment

Friends is a TOUGH topic. Making them is hard. Keeping them is hard. Getting rid of them is hard. Weeding out the shitty ones is super hard. Yes, yes, that’s what she said. Hashtag I totally walked into that one. A couple weeks ago, I attended an engagement party for one of my favorite people […]

Everyone Hates Email

March 23, 2017 by sara 2 Comments

This is something I can’t figure out. “I hate email.” “Email is THE WORST.” “Don’t email me, I never read them.” “I know we all hate emails, but…” “Oh God, not another email series / newsletter.” But, like, why? Email marketing is SUPPOSEDLY the most impactful way to grow your business, whether you’re a blogger, […]

Cord Cutting

March 15, 2017 by sara Leave a Comment

You know what’s really funny? People – nay, MARTYRS – who are all like, “Oh we cut the cord! We haven’t had cable for 3 YEARS.” Oh, really? Gosh, life must be SO HARD. You mean you don’t watch any TV? News? Sporting events? Riveting brain poison aka reality TV? “Oh, well, we have Netflix and […]

Normalcy

March 8, 2017 by sara Leave a Comment

I never thought I’d ever write a sentence like this, but DAMN do I miss normalcy. Normalcy is so boring. Normal is what I’ve tried to get away from. Waking up at the same time every day? Normal. Showering + getting dressed + having a green smoothie while reading the paper? Normal. Making breakfast in […]
