Why Do You Blog
Why do you blog? I blog to get my story out. I enjoy writing. It allows me to express myself in a way that words typically fail me. I have more time to develop my thoughts to express what I want to say. The reasons I blog. I’ve been dealing with a foot injury. When the doctor comes into the room, I forget everything I wanted to say. Writing things down beforehand is helpful for me because it…

What Personal Belongings Do You Hold Most Dear and Minessententionalism?
What Personal Belongings Do You Hold Most Dear and Minessententionalism? This is a great question for me to answer as a Minessententionalist because I don't own that much stuff, but the belongings I do own mean a lot to me. #minessententionalsim
Daily writing promptWhat personal belongings do you hold most dear?View all responses This is a great question for me to answer as a Minessententionalist because I don’t own that much stuff, but the belongings I do own mean a lot to me.

Do You Have Any Collections?
Do you have any collections? Yes! Two! Plants and Art. This is a tough question for Minimalist me to answer. I don’t believe in collecting stuff. That’s how I define collecting is stuff. I am not a sentimentalist for the most part. That being said, what I do personally own means the world to me. The first collection I want to talk about is my plant collection, which is also one of my…

What Is the Legacy You Want to Leave Behind?
What is the legacy you want to leave behind? I saw a new, ground-breaking hip hop opera in February 2023 put on by Lyric Opera at the Harris Theater in Chicago called The Factotum. This opera is a modern remaking of Rossini’s The Barber of Seville. (Honestly, I’m very grateful I saw this modern version because it saved me from having to sit through The Barber of Seville.) Here is a synopsis of…

How Do You Feel About Cold Weather?
How do you feel about cold weather? I’m hot and cold about cold weather to be honest! I get sick of being cold all of the time when it’s cold outside. I love snow, as long as I’m not driving in it! I love the coziness that cold weather brings. I hate when it’s supposed to be warm out, and it’s still cold out! I live near Chicago, so maybe I should define what cold weather means to me.…

What Sacrifices Have You Made In Life?
What sacrifices have you made in life? My sanity. This was a forced sacrifice because it stared when I was a child. It continued into my 19 year marriage. When parents or a spouse force themselves on you, physically or emotionally, it’s called abuse, assault, rape, etc. It’s called taking away your rights and freedom, and this ultimately takes away your sanity. With my parents, I had no choice…

What Is The Oldest Thing You’re Wearing Today?
What’s the oldest things you’re wearing today? The expression on my face: the focused dancer face. The look that says, “Don’t mess with me or get in my way because I’m doing what I love, and you will not get in the way. This is a face of great intensity. I’ve even been told that many times, “Wow, you are intense.” I used to take this as an insult in that I thought it described me as being…

Why You Should Nurture Other Interests While You’re Indulging Your Main Passion
Burnout is inevitable. What are you doing on the side right now that will be your next thing? What are you a total beginner at right now? If you're not a beginner at something in your life right now, maybe you should do something new. #burnout #beginners
For years, I had one passion: dance. What activities did I nurture on the side when I wasn’t dancing? Not much to be honest. Dance was everything to me. That became a problem when I left the dance world, and all I had left was my day job. One of the reasons I advocate for nurturing interests on the side is because I remember what it was like to have dance be my world, and when I chose to…

Picking the Lesser Of Two Evils: Which Would I Rather Do? Fun Interview and Getting-To-Know Me A Little Better
Which do I choose when presented with two things I don't want to do? Find out! You can tell a lot about a person's preferences based on experiences they've had and what they'd rather put up and tolerate when given the choice of two unpleasant options.
I’ve had this idea bubbling in my head as like a trivia post. It’s a self-interview and gives you a chance to get to know me a little bit better. So I’m going to ask myself a series of questions where I select the lesser of two evils and see which one I pick. +++ Sara, which would you rather do: Dance on pointe (ballet) or run a marathon? Run a marathon. Have Christmas dinner with your…

How To Know When It’s Time For Change: Spotting Your Breaking Point
How do you figure out why you feel so bad and figure out when it's time to make a change? How do you spot misery in your life so you can do something about it? Here's a peek at my story and what I did to heal my mind, body, and spirit. #recoveryispossible
I would’ve paid someone an obscene amount of money to fix things for me. Even better, I would’ve paid anyone to tell me what was wrong with my life as to why I felt so miserable in my life that I wanted to die because I could only see a future with my life the way it was and no improvement. I couldn’t see a way out of my life and that made me want to NOT keep going. Suicide ideation you could…

Phones, Tablets, Other Pacifiers, and Thanksgiving Dinner: How To Be Present With Yourself and Your Family In The Moment
Happy Thanksgiving! Be present at our holiday meal today and ditch the pacifiers we use to dissociate and to get away from hard-to-be-with family members today and everyday. #holidaysarehard #recovery #recoveryispossible #sarathlete #dissociate #focus
Happy Thanksgiving to you! I hope you have a wonderful day! To kick off the holiday season, my husband and I went to see Polar Express last night. Afterwards, we went to look at a Christmas light display set up at a local park called Sunset Hill Farm. You drive through the light display on a paved path. It’s really cool and always puts us in the holiday spirit. The movie was full with people.…
