Life by Sara

Sometimes I think I have nothing to share. There doesn't seem to be much going on. We do a lot of the same things day in and day out. But in truth, there's a lot going on. Those small things we do each day lead to bigger things we are working toward. They seem like nothing at the time, but when I look back at everything, I see great progress.

For years I went through infertility due to endometriosis. One of the hardest parts of this experience was people assuming they understood my pain and how to treat it. My lesson/takeaway from this experience: Don't compare pain.

Ever since Berkley was born I find very little time to read. This is very different than how things used to be. I devoured books, at least I thought I did, at least good books. Now, I am lucky if I'm able to crack open a book at all in a day.

Have you ever thanked God for your life? He created you. He molded you into who you are. He sent you here to experience life. It's hard, yes. It can be disappointing and frustrating and painful. But it is, in it's entirety, beautiful.

I had the incredible opportunity to interview my amazing friend Justine Tregloan about her journey through studying Ayurveda and healing modalities. Her journey is beautiful, full of passion, and one that needs to be shared.

It's easy to get caught up in the momming/mom life and lose sight/focus of our passions and creative interests. But I believe it's important to embrace those interests and still find time for them.

Creativity is more than the arts. It's in how we live our lives, how we play, how we gather and increase in knowledge. Creativity is in the science and math skills, its in analytical and logical thinking, its in solving problems.

College. That's when I had my first yoga experience. I walked into a room full of people. Full. It was a large room full of people. I don't know what I was expecting, but not this. Were this many people interested in yoga?

Samantha is a surface pattern designer, a mom of four, and my sister-in-law (our husbands are brothers). It was while in school Samantha discovered a passion for graphic design, which led her to a career in digital design for various companies and freelancing, specializing in branding for small businesses.

The biggest reason I started blogging again and then started the podcast was because I felt prompted to start--over the course of months actually. I felt Heavenly Father leading me to start creating content again, but I put it off. I didn't know what I really wanted to do with it, what I wanted to write.

Do you ever wonder why some people decide to have bigger families and others have smaller ones? I think we all wonder about other people's circumstances and choices. And, for the most part, I don't think we're bing judgmental; we're just curious about other people's life circumstances, experiences, and decisions that create the situations they have.

When life doesn't go as planned, what do you do? I don't know that any part of my life has gone as planned. I've always been a dreamer, imagining what the future holds. And I've always been wrong. But I've dealt with it. I've overcome, learned, accepted, and moved on. In this episode of Life by Sara, I share a little of what I pictured my life to be, yes, but more importantly, what I've learned as I've experienced change, pivoting, disappointment, and more. Life hasn't gone a

There are so many things to consider: selling our current house and getting it ready to sell, making sure Scott has a job lined up wherever we go, having the money to move (so expensive), getting a new house (probably renting), making sure we are close to playgrounds and other activities for Berkley.... It's a lot to do and consider. It's overwhelming.

Sydney shares her story, reasons for creating, personal solutions for overcoming chaos and trials, and more.

Last week I finished editing my book--the book I've been working on for probably close to 10 years. Maybe longer. Who knows? This book has gone through some huge changes and growing pains. It's a story that has always been there, in my brain and heart, but it's been hard to get out.

This is part 2 of our love story, starting from the engagement. Was our dating and marriage was a sign of things to come? I think so. It's been a rollercoaster since the day we tied the knot.

Creativity is a deeply-rooted part of our being. It's up to us to discover what or how we like to create and then create. And also figure out what is keeping us from creating.

It started with a long car ride to Lake Powell and proceeded through a round of pretzels, a dance, and a disastrous trip to Bear Lake. There are a few lakes in this story.

A long time ago, before Scott fell in love with me and showed me who I really am, I thought I was not pretty, unattractive, and undesirable. I have struggled with confidence since I was a kid for many reasons. A lot of it had to do with how I let friends treat me and how I let other people's words affect me. All of that affected how I perceived myself and how I presented myself to others.

In this episode I talk about my journey through yoga, why I love it, and how it pulls me closer to Jesus Christ. Most importantly, I talk about how yoga strengthens my testimony.
