Do You Love Me Enough to Let Me Go?
An honest conversation about death, dignity, and choosing how we go. Wow. I felt the temperature in the room shift—just at the mere mention of death. Why?! Why are we so damn scared to talk about this thing that is as inevitable as sunrise? Is it the unknown? The finality? The loss of control? Or…

I’m Surviving, Not Inspiring
I can’t tell you how many times since I started using a wheelchair people have called me inspirational, or given me that “oh, bless her heart (for living)” look I’ve come to absolutely despise. Thinking about it this morning, I wondered—what is it that makes me inspirational now that I’m in a chair? I was…

Remembering to Forget: Unlearning What Holds Us Back
Why Are We Here? Seriously—what is the purpose of life? Are we just here to go to school, get a job, pay bills, and hopefully have a little fun along the way before we die? You know who rarely questions their purpose? Young children. As they run across playgrounds, splash in puddles, and simply exist,…

An Attitude of Gratitude: Finding Light Even in the Darkest Moments
It was May 2024 when I wrote this title. Even then, I knew that gratitude is one of the most powerful emotions for manifesting anything. When we express gratitude, we energetically align with what we wish to attract. Instead of yearning for what we don’t have, we act as if it’s already here—allowing the universe…

Rediscovering Power: A Journey into Woo-Woo and Beyond
My exploration of the metaphysical and spiritual has often led me to embrace the ‘woo-woo’—beliefs that feel true without requiring a logical explanation, i.e., ghosts, miracles, spontaneous healings, God/Universe/Source, etc. After having the experience of “talking” to God, nothing is off the table! When I looked up the term “woo-woo,” the definition surprised me: unconventional…

Evolving Sara
Who the FUCK am I?!?!? What the FUCK is the point of my life?!?!? I feel like I have been thrown into an existential crisis. Since losing the ability to walk, and the ability to do many of the things I enjoy due to Multiple Sclerosis, I often question who I am and what my…

Judgy Judgerson
That title refers to me – and I’m guessing it can refer to all of my readers, also. (Yep, I’m already judging you because that’s what I do!) If we’re all being completely honest here, VERY few people, if anyone in this world, lives judgment free. Some of us just become judgier than others –…

Radical Self-Love: Sacred, Not Selfish
Is Self-Love Selfish? Let’s Chat. I saw a post on Facebook recently that asked,“What’s one piece of advice every child should get?” Without thinking twice, I wrote:“Love yourself unconditionally.” Later that day, I asked Jeremy what he’d say.He goes, “Be kind.” Also great advice. Nailed it. But then I told him mine, and he said,“Well,…

The Victim or The Creator
There are many things that happen in our daily existence that are outside of our control. These experiences usually elicit some type of emotion. Think about your day so far. Have there been experiences that have altered your mood – either positively or negatively without you consciously choosing that emotion? When someone cuts you off…

Fill Your Bucket
Since my last post (3 months ago) I have been dealing with a lot of negative emotions. I don’t know if starting therapy in March unearthed some things I need to deal with, if these feelings and thoughts stem from my MS and its constant battle against my body or what spurred this episode. I…
