My random musings, crazy ideas, distractions, mental vacations and anything that makes me take pause.
Fuuuuuuuuck! That’s the noise a former people pleaser with liquid sense of self emits when heavy walls drop like a guillotine severing the Velcro-hold of the easiest, most unbelievably supportive kinship that one could dream up (with a fictional character), being hurled down the stairs*, standing weaving and bobbing, only to receive a 1-2 linear…
During this emotional year, getting the emotions to come to the surface and overflow happened naturally. But, nothing prepared me for feeling emotions with my whole body. Sad, or anxious emotions did not only make me cry (everything makes me cry, from Sarah McLachlan to marriage proposals) but gutted me and drained me. When I…
Last year, a group of my co-workers decided to do #Veganuary so with the support of the group and a vegan leader guiding us – and since I cannot resist a dare – I joined them. After a mild panic attack a few days before I planned to start (because of the most savage cold…
The last two years, I’ve found a way to turn my focus inward to mark the transition of a new year. In 2022 I did a 5-day silent retreat at the end of December and in 2023 I did a 3-day water fast. Give me your suggestions in the comments for what I should consider…
LET’S RECONNECT Hello friends! It’s been a long time – a really, really long time. So much shifted in our world the last few years and within me. Did they with you, too? I don’t know what vibrates with you when facing the end of a year, but deadlines that face a new beginning always…
Hello, my name is Sarah and I’m a podcast-holic. My line up of favorite shows contains equal parts writing or online entrepreneurial advice, inspirational motivators and true crime podcasts – that my kids introduced me to. Today, while listening to the Good Life Project, host Jonathan Fields and special guest, author Geneen Roth (from the…
Why do you travel? To get away from the daily grind? To spend quality time with others? To invest time in, and transform, yourself? To learn about other cultures, flavors and traditions? My friends Christina, Marsha, Patty and I (and occasionally a special guest!) found a way to do all of the above during those…
I want to share one of the best things one of my friends did for me. She showed up unannounced in my office, on a really average day, and talked me into training for a half ironman triathlon (1.2 mi swim, 56 mile bike ride, 13.1 mile run). I doubt anyone ever used the word…
Supposedly the most authentic writing happens right when you wake up in the morning before your filter wakes up and does its job – even when answering a survey from O, The Oprah Magazine. The survey asked “How I was feeling about America?” the answers poured out. All the built up emotions stemming from my…
The magic of films, the power of storytelling and the glitter of Hollywood remain a few of the reasons I choose to live near Los Angeles. Films entertain and educate us, they change our perspectives, and expand our views of our world – or what exists beyond. My favorite trend right now revolves around telling…

This is the year of full-circle moments! In one week from today, thanks to KIIS-FM and Del Taco, my daughter and I get tickets AND a backstage tour at Wango Tango music festival here in Los Angeles. Now we still don’t know what this entails, but I hope to cross paths a few performers and…
