Hey Reader! I'm so excited! Only one week until we release The Seed Song! I'll admit, I have loved this story (and song) from the start, but the amazing illustrator, Hiru Kariyawasam, really brought this project to life. Her exquisite watercolor is meticulously detailed and captures my lovely Momma Heidi. I'm just so excited. I cannot wait for you to have a copy! My mom sang to her plants. She spoke to them, sang to them, preached the gospel to them, confided in them - there was nothing my...

Hey Reader! Comin at you just in the nick of July. :) If I allowed myself two uninterrupted hours, I could fill this newsletter with all the goings-on of July and the many thoughts I've been eager to share with you. But I don't have two uninterrupted hours this morning. I mentioned last month that CW and I are prayerfully planning a giving strategy for The Seed Song. I'm eager to share our heart with you regarding this, but as we still don't have all the details pegged out, today I want to...

Hey Reader! If you haven't... ...heard from me, it's because I had an unexpected medical situation and am still in recovery-mode (actually, this makes the THIRD unexpected medical situation for my family this year... we're pretty tapped out, y'all. We're entering sleep mode.). ...emailed me, why not? ...ordered your copy of The Seed Song, today's a great day for that! ...left a review on Amazon, Good Reads, Library Thing, etc., etc., etc., let's just cross that off your to-do list today,...

Hey Reader! Today is the day! Grab your copy of The Seed Song with the link below! Locals or passers-by, feel free to email me to arrange an in-person sale. :) Order Now! I can't WAIT for you to read this. :) From my heart to yours, Sarah

Today's the day! Totally free - go grab an ecopy of A Sea of Lilacs while you can. :) Here's the link: https://a.co/d/0gQLN6SF From my heart to yours, Sarah

Hey Reader! I began writing to you yesterday, April 27, and had to step away. What I'd hoped to share with you is this incredible content I also shared on my instagram (that's right - I'm instagramming)! Here's what I shared: Planted some dwarf Bok Choy this weekend, and Little Lady and I keep peeking around the corner to see if it has sprouted yet. It hasn't, but we just keep peeking and singing The Seed Song... I can't wait to share this book with you! I suppose I'm a bit impatient. Okay,...

New Year, New Same Old Me. Good morning Reader! Here we are, knocking on Groundhog’s Day. Did you make any Resolutions for the New Year? How are those going for you? I could tell you all the New Year's Resolutions I didn’t even bother to make this year, but why not just be honest? I’m me. I’m not going to join a gym this year after 45 years of not joining a gym. I’m not going to find and match all my socks after 45 years of not finding and matching my socks (to be fair, the last time I had a...

Good morning Reader! It's Christmas Eve morning. Oh Reader I love Christmas! I love everything about Christmas. I love the way the lights shimmer on the tinsel of the tree. I love making ornaments with my daughter. I love those little Christmas-shaped dog treats for Belle (to be clear, I love giving them to the dog - I've never eaten one). I love the music and lyrics of Christmas. I love the gifting. I love the family Christmas pajamas (we went with Snoopy). I love all the Who's down in...

Good morning, Friend. Lilacs in October! It's here! Okay, it's not here-here. It's just here. October. We are two-and-a-half weeks away from the official release of A Sea of Lilacs: Sorrow in Verse and Vignette. I am so excited to share this work with all of you. A Sea of Lilacs has been more than two years in the making. The easy thing to say has been, "It's a collection about losing my mother." That's true but perhaps oversimplified. It's also about grief and hope, about tears and laughter,...

Good morning, Friend. Lilacs in September? Why not, right? t's September 29 and I'm listening to Christmas music. How great our joy! Joy, joy, joy! It's also true that I'm barely getting to the newsletter again this month. I've been mentally composing for two weeks now, but sitting down at my laptop has just not been enticing to me in recent months. Ironically, one of my writing goals for 2025 was to sneak the newsletter back a few days each month so I was sending more towards the middle of...
