We leave for Rio de Janeiro Brazil tomorrow morning, Wednesday, at "o-dark thirty" (military-speak for very, very early in the morning). Here are some travel tips I will implement that I've learned from my previous world tramping:1. Make at least 3 copies of your passport, ID, and credit cards. Hide them as securely as possible [...]
Today, 7 July 2011 is my last day in my twenties. This does not scare me. :) On the cusp of another mini-adventure, I celebrate the fact that I am still alive and genuinely striving to live life full of zest nearly every day. I have also rededicated myself toward exuding positive energy, patience, and kindness in [...]
Today's significance:- It's the first day of July already. This is craziness!! Also of note, it is now only one week until my 30th birthday....craziness, as well ;) trial camp, Tampa FL, March 2011: I almost blocked Britt! ;) -Today, I begin a month long journey. It has been a year since I've been overseas, therefore I consider myself long [...]
For those of you who don't know the story of Bailey, here is his "tail" ;) September 2008 was a particularly difficult month for me: my 17 year old dog Teddy was on his death bed, work was crazy as usual, I spent a weekend believing a misdiagnosis for multiple melanoma, and a long term romantic relationship [...]
Since I seem to always be traveling, this Semper Sarah entry is about Always Traveling Sarah :)Day 1 of our Mendoza portion of the trip, Margie and I decided there'd be no half-a$sing things. As soon as we dropped our bags off at our hotel (that we scored an amazing deal on this 4 star place [...]
Since things really aren't THAT exciting right now, (is anyone else severely depressed by this gloomy weather in Columbus?!??!) I thought maybe I'd backtrack in pieces here and there to add blurbs about some of my travels. As much as I am an organization freak, I'm going to resist the urge to only write in [...]
Always TRYING to look up.....Since I last wrote four days ago, things have continued to improve. Starting the week off, Sunday, by "looking up" (at God), really helped to get things going in the right direction. Now, the rest of that day wasn't particularly spectactular, and it ended up being too muddy to go mountain biking, but [...]
I started my Sunday (6/19/20) seeking out some spiritual fruit..... My previous two days were a mixed bag: Friday, I woke up with a general feeling of dis-inspiration which was only compounded by more CA house drama. I tried to get myself recharged in the afternoon with a workout, but no avail! :( I was having a [...]
By the time my set departure date ((Too Soon) Tuesday, 14 June) rolled around, I hadn't quite figured out how to change my ticket without losing an arm and a leg or by sorely disappointing Pete and Bailey back home. I was quite torn between staying in a place I love with a friend I love, where both the place [...]
South Korea, Turkey, Serbia, and South Africa are a handful of the countries newly added to my blog audience. Pretty cool! :)Onto less exciting news. . . I'm faltering on the motivation front lately :( ...I don't know if I'm in a post-Colorado depression or what, but I'm really feeling like this whole I'm-gonna-write-a-book idea [...]
