When my mind is racing, I put my feet up and speak up
Author: Feet Up Speak Up
I have always suggested books for my book club that I have read before because I am terrified to suggest anything blindly in fear that they will all hate it, and somehow know it was me who suggested it, and hate me for it. Good ole anxiety at play. Well I conquered that fear and … Continue reading A Book From A Concert That Sung To Me
A name most people know and associate with a wandering spirit, Jack Kerouac was the writer I had never read that I always thought I should knowing my own wandering spirit. So it was a great surprise when one of the books that came up as a read for my book club was the classic … Continue reading Navigating the Road With Jack Kerouac
Welcome back to The Monthly Immersion Into Music, The MIIM! This month I will be sharing my adventure seeing The Disco Biscuits for the first time at the Harpa Concert Hall in Reykjavik, Iceland as well as my opinion on The National's new album First Two Pages of Frankenstein. The Disco Biscuits, where to begin. … Continue reading The MIIM: New Album and A Music Adventure In Iceland
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 The MIIM: An Idol and an Icon

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
