When my mind is racing, I put my feet up and speak up
It's a question as old as time. "What kind of music do you listen to?" For anyone who knows me, you know when I answer "a little bit of everything," I mean it with every cell in my body. Beethoven to Metallica. Ella Fitzgerald to Zedd. Garth Brooks to Snoop Dogg. I want it all. … Continue reading This Month in Music: An Idol and an Icon
For some that title is quite literal, which hey if that is what you need to deal with the world we live in, I get it. However, of course I mean this is a metaphorical context after just reading John Williams brilliant novel "Stoner." This wonderful tale takes us into the ordinary life of a … Continue reading We All Walk Through Life As A Stoner
Alas I wish I could place this blog in the travel category, but for today it belongs in the literature category. I was in my local book store, perusing the cheap paperback section (a favorite past-time of mine), and came across "Congo" by Michael Crichton. I had heard of Crichton from someone in my book … Continue reading The Congo: A World of Mystery and Beauty
Once again my book club pulled through and introduced me to a book that may have never crossed my path, yet I absolutely loved it. It makes me wonder how many other books are out there screaming "Sarah, pick me! You and I will get along so well!" Alas, so many books, so little time. … Continue reading Circe; Everyone Is Human
Man it feels good to have a keyboard under my fingers for something other than work. I know everyone else had an interesting 2020, and I am no different. And because of that, I kind of forgot this thing existed. But I am happy to be back. I got a lot of reading done in … Continue reading Well Hello Again!
Thought the title might be appropriate for a blog that speaks about literature and the wilderness. As an Arizona native, I never feel prepared when the summer hits. In a year in which I rediscovered my love for the outdoors and being in the wilderness, that lack of preparedness had me sitting in my air … Continue reading Where My Wild Fern Dwells
Holy smokes it has been quite some time since I put any sort of words on digital paper! As many of you know life happens, and I took some time to just experience it and mentally process it which led me away from writing. So what brought me back to my laptop? An idea in … Continue reading An Idea That Sparked My Body and Soul
Well it's that time of year again! The. End. Of. It. I know these posts are all over the place, but I enjoy reading them, so I might as well give my own take right? Alright friends, here we go. I think it is appropriate to call 2019 the Year of Rediscovering Myself. Because of … Continue reading Sarah’s Cliche Year In Review
I love live music. I love not-live music. I love Beethoven and Black Sabbath and everything in between. I love watching one person create numerous sounds on a synthesizer or a marching band creating a melody with a plethora of instruments. I am that person who taps their fingers, pens, or whatever else is lying … Continue reading Red Rock Amphitheatre, You Filled My Soul
August. Triple digits and humidity. By far the worst month of the year and the price us Arizonans pay for perfect weather eight months of the year. However, this August proved to be a great month as I experienced some great moments with some very important people in my life. These moments also helped this … Continue reading August Friendships
Feet Up, Speak Up
