I have never been very good at setting New Year resolutions/goals. When I thought about today's post, 2026 resolutions for the year came to mind and it felt good and important to do.

Finally I was pregnant! After years of trying and waiting and hoping, after all the disappointment and hopes dashed, we were having a baby.

I don't know how many of our friends and even blog readers know my story--of infertility, heartache, waiting, longing, and then a huge miracle. This is part one of the story of my miracle baby.

One thing that helped me get through the mess of life and see the miracles forming in front of my eyes was gratitude journaling. Something as simple as writing down things I was grateful for, no matter how small, helped me see light when I felt surrounded by darkness.

Writing has always been my dream. I've come back to it again and again throughout the years, but I have let life get in the way of truly pursuing that dream. Let's get into the story, shall we?

I originally planned for this post to come out next week. But with the recent events of so many happenings, I thought it best to put it...

This is a hard post to write because I get emotional thinking of why it is so important to me. And I actually wrote the entire thing already and then it all erased. So here I go again, feeling all the emotions. When I sat down to write this week's blog post I had one thought in mind: You matter. Why is this so important? Why an entire post on this? How do I convey this well, so you understand why it matters to me that you know you matter? Let's Start with a Story I have alway

Hi! I'm Sara Ann Comte. Maybe you know me. Or some iteration of me. I've been online for some years, running some form of content through blog and website.

Things don't always turn out the way you hoped. I hoped to live in our house in Missouri for a long time and to turn it into our dream. And even though we have pivoted and found new dreams, I still mourn that life.

Let's add a little more context about where I have been, you know, like the title says, the big two-year update.

The last two years? I don't even know where to start. The last couple years are a blur, even though they have been some of the most profound, heart-wrenching, crazy, impacting, and even beautiful years in our almost 14 years of marriage.

This mantra helped me embrace my divinity and recognize that I can and I am. And so can and are you! You are divine. Let me show you.

As I’ve done a lot over the years to pursue creativity, I’ve come to realize that how I feel about my beauty and style affects my creativity

For a long time, I didn’t think I was pretty. I didn’t think I was strong or capable. And these low confidence thoughts affected me deeply.

Sep 2, 2021 It’s here! My new website, blog, and focus. What a journey this has been! For those who have been here awhile, first, thank you! Your support and love have meant the world. And you know that I’ve been blogging off and on for years, without a real focus. It’s been hard, really hard. I’ve wanted to blog for a long time, but I haven’t been sure what I want to write about. So I dabbled, played, and jumped all over the place. But now, I’m going full in, becoming a prof

Aug 9, 2021 We’re pregnant! Did you see? After years of not knowing if it would ever happen , we have a baby on the way. And if you...

Aug 5, 2021 I can do anything. I can be anything. Do I believe it? Yes. Absolutely. But I didn’t always believe it. We tell kids they can be and do anything. They are the makers of their selves, their dreams, their futures. Do you remember hearing this when you were young? Teachers, parents, other adults tried to instill this concept in our minds. Did we believe them? Somewhere along the way to adulthood, my belief in myself diminished. I said the words. I wanted to believe t

Aug 4, 2021 Remember that one time Scott and I bought a fixer-upper? I definitely do. Every. Day. I wake up, and there it is, staring me...

Jun 22, 2021 Remember that time Scott was gone for more than six months? Oh, I do. It was hard. But it was also a great time to reset....

Jun 18, 2021 Do you ever feel the need to just create? Sometimes I get that itch. I just need to use my hands to make something. I believe we are all creative. Every one of us. If you’re human, you’re creative. The ugly truth is that the world steers us away from creativity. Or it lies to us telling us that only certain things are creative. It’s not true. Creativity actually comes in many different forms. We just have to find the one that’s right for us. What I Create My cr
