On Writing ::
Fun on a Friday – Writing Playlist
This isn’t my normal post, but since a few of you have asked, this is my go-to playlist for writing. It’s kind of my one-size-fits-all music for writing. It’s inspiring, happy but not too upbeat and altogether just a peek into my peaceful place. These are listed in the order that are actually in my [...]
The Room to Fail
“There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.” Paulo Coelho When I walked into the touristy bakery on the Champs Elysee, my mind silently conjugated the college French from so long ago before I even uttered the broken sentence. I said something haltingly and the woman behind [...]
The Pleasure and the Holiness of Writing
It took me a long time to say that I’m a writer. It took me over a year of writing EVERY day. And I mean every day for me to admit to myself that I’m a writer, and then a few years after that for me to comfortably admit to anyone else that I was. [...]
Sarah,
Thank you for the posts about social media and the effects of “living” online. I have greatly appreciated your candor and reflection on the topic. I can say I am also exhausted from the online world and have recently disconnected from facebook for an indefinite amount of time. For me, I began to feel as if I wasn’t being were I was. I was always online in my mind thinking about the next thing I could communicate on facebook. I also felt after reading posts on facebook that I was no longer running my own race but someone else’s race. I am pretty sure this is not what the Lord intended for me. On another note, I have three beautiful children the Lord has entrusted me with and I found myself ignoring them sometimes to tend to my “online family”. So after some reflection and disconnection, I feel set free from the online world. I am better able to run at my own pace. I must say though, I love your blog and writing! You have tremendously blessed me with your beautiful writing about your life of faith. I haven’t disconnected from just a few blogs that greatly encourage me in my walk with Jesus…..and yours is my favorite! Thank you Sarah! As we follow after Him!
