I don’t often comment but regularly listen to and read Sarah’s work. I’m struck with gratitude for the words and images you create and share. I’m guessing there are many of us, silent consumers who so greatly benefit from your art, your wisdom. I just wanted to say thank you Sarah, please know your words have comforted me, provoked thought in me when I really needed it. I’m sure creating content in this way can sometimes feel like a one way process. It’s not, you are touching so many. Thanks again.
I too, I have always felt reservation in responding to your amazing creations of prose and poetry, thought I and acknowledgment of feelings. The reservations probably born from not feeling I could express adequately what a gift to share. So beautiful your son is able to emote and express so succinctly both sides of this paradox. I was actually driving on a country road during what I refer to as the ambrosial time of the day. It always seems to be most beautifully connected to lifetime of the day and I’m so grateful for it. This also happens to be the time I quite often listen to your compositions and heartfelt words. It’s also a time I go through many tissues, and just to let you know, it’s always tears of joy, reminding me that, though I experience both sides of this adventure, and just comfort That there are at least two other people out there experience the same so it must mean that when I feel this way, I’m not broken, but just broken open to be more alive . Thank you for sharing your gift! I enter this adventure, it’s brand new baby day, with an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for life!
It’s 3 am and I sit awake.... this alert on my phone popped up and joy just hit me. Sarah posted!!!! This is so beautiful and melted my heart completely.
So beautiful Sarah. The hardest part of my walk so far has been letting go of my children and having to watch them suffer, even a little bit, so they can grow and adventure.
It’s 3:45am in Peru as I’m am on an adventure myself(from Halifax NS Canada) and your words couldn’t be more timely. Thank you for the continued refuelling of my heart and inspiration of my renovated noggin post TBI.
Life and love are a constant balancing of what am I holding onto and what am I letting go of. There is no perfect science, there is no Rosetta Stone, there is no magic sauce, there is no silver bullet... there is joy and there is suffering and whole lot of jostling in between. Our upbringing, experiences and programming has taken our very essence of love and clouded it with a constant association with fear. Love in one hand and fear in the other. And depending on our circumstances, the scales are tipped one way or another. The goal is to maintain either balance by acknowledging the fear and darkness within and allowing the light of our awareness to illuminate the dark and scary things so our of the seed within that is scaring us, that we might discover a new nugget of wisdom that enhances and enlightens our expression of love. I want so badly for my pain and anguish to be relieved... to be caught up in the magnitude of our divine essence and live from a place of humility and acceptance without fear, but I recognize that my lack of appreciation for fear and what it teaches me tries to tip the scales artificially towards one side of my whole self. Working towards balance but my lows in life are beginning to scare me. Not being able to function and achieve the to dos on my plate are scaring the hell out of me... but I also have to recognize that they are teaching me what’s important and forcing my hand to let go of the lessor and programmed in priorities and forcing me towards self love and self care otherwise I will not survive any longer as the vessel that is carrying me through this life is weakening and starting to falter, but I know it’s also a mirror of what is happening within my soul. My old self and who I was with Krista is dying and if I keep trying to hold onto what is no longer, it’s keeping me from experiencing what is ahead of me and still living... myself and my girls. In a season of darkness awaiting the light within to shine again.
I too felt a jolt of excitement when I seen a new post from you Sahra. Your voice draws me in, your words are ever so beautiful and thought provoking. You bring peace and joy to my day. Thank you.
I had to listen to this twice. The first time I got lost in the images and the second time, I put the phone down and simply listened to the words in order to fully grasp them.
The concept is quite simple really, that adventure and discomfort go together. I think we often feel the fear of discomfort as resistance and I am going to explore this more. Thank you.
Tearing streaming down my face after listening to this. “Discomfort is part of the adventure”.. thank you for this lesson as it’s so timely for me right now. I’m struggling and torn between loving two people and the shame, discomfort, and heartbreak I can’t overcome feels like a never ending well of despair that I don’t know how to navigate or communicate to either people. Your words give me hope that the dust will settle, the path will become known and I will find my courage to follow my heart.
This may sound really strange, but Sarah… Seriously… What planet are you from!!? (said, with a warm, broad, loving smile). When first being introduced to you one of my first thoughts happen to be, oh my goodness… I have found someone from my planet!! It’s a remarkable, rare and wonderful thing to experience someone who speaks a ‘language’ that so resonates and aligns with my very soul… and needless to say, numerous others as well! I cannot express enough how dear I hold you to my heart, and please know that I doubt that I have felt more love and gratitude for any other sentient being! Blessings be dear one🙏❤️✨💥🌱
Such a beautiful message to share with our kiddos! And of course with ourselves as well!! I'm embarking on a total career change where in one palm I feel absolute joy and in the other I feel fear. I needed to hear your comforting words and voice reminding me that this is the way - adventure and discomfort. But chose the joy because that comes from my heart and sit with the discomfort because avoiding it will lessen the experience. Much gratitude for your work Sarah!
I am piggy backing on the comment theme here…I too don’t often write comments, but feel very called to share today. I am in the early phases of maturing into the Somatic Practitioner and teacher that I hope to become. When I think of mentors, guides and teachers that have most inspired me on my path…you are number one on my list, Sarah. Thank you for making my heart feel less alone in dark times. Thank you for making my sensitive soul feel seen and valid. Your embodied heart-mindedness in all you create and offer is the greatest gift.
thank you Sarah for always inspiring us and touching our souls. in days like this and so much chaos and tragedy, your voice and your thoughts and words helps my heart to find peace within and keep on going. you’ve been an inspiration and a friend somehow through your podcasts for years now!

Hand on heart, full of joy and gratitude for this gift of words. Thank you for being here, and for sharing your voice with me! Thank you.

Me too....me too, Keith.
Words like a salve to a heavy heart ❤️✨
