Age: 22
Current Location: San Diego/ Clovis
I decided to get people involved in my journey so everyone could share this experience with me. I want people to take life by the horns. To set a goal and go for it. You never know what lies around the corner, so live the life you have, while you have it!
I’m about as independent as they come. I’ve been through more obstacles in these past 7 years than most people experience in an entire lifetime. From Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) to Melanoma (Skin Cancer) I’ve been dealt a difficult hand, but with the support of friends and family I keep on keepin’ on.
I’ve decided that while I still have time here on this planet I’m going to follow my dreams. I’m going to LIVE my life. I want to inspire each of you to do what makes you happy. We are raised in a society that steers us away from happiness and into materialism. We chose jobs because of money. We have become so obsessed about our status that we have forgotten what truly matters. I encourage you to question. To change. To inspire.
I have moved away from the conventional pull and tug of our culture. I’m embarking on the journey of MY life. My way.
Join me.
Amazing being, you are, Sara! Very inspirational!
Thank you; you’re very sweet!
Sara… i really appreciate your courage and positivity. Fortunate to come across someone so strong as you. The world needs people like you.
You’re very sweet! Thank you : ) Everyone has the potential to embrace their inner strength and beauty. The world already has people like me.. they just haven’t realized it yet! You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.
Looking forward to following you in the times ahead, hopefully the major hurdles in your life are over with and you can just enjoy your future
That would be nice! But these hurdles play an important part in allowing us to learn and be grateful for the “good” times. I wouldn’t trade or change anything that has happened to me. They all have played a major role in molding me into the person I am today… and I kinda like that person ; ) I’d enjoy my future regardless of these things because I enjoy the present : ) But it would be nice to have nice and sunny days ahead! Thanks for your sweet words!
You are awesome and inspiring! I am going to follow your blog and your journey!
Thanks for stopping by my blog! Much appreciated!
Thank you Craig! I hope to encourage everyone to follow their passions in life! Everyone can be awesome and inspiring! : )
I must say your words here expressed the sentiment of my core. I look forward to more encouraging experiences that will be shared. Keep living life and testing the limits! I hope to be doing the same my friend.
I’m glad that my words resonated with you. I’m delighted to have you along on the journey. Always remember to smile… and never give up! : )
Thanks so much for visiting my blog, liking my photo, and your very kind comment! If you hadn’t I would have never discovered your blog – I look forward to following your journey.
Thank you Jackie! It was my pleasure. I’m excited that you’re following along : )
Good for you! You rock. I’m sendin this to my son…..
Aw thank you Cindy! : ) I hope he likes it too!
I’ve had my own hurdles in my life too, and everyday for me is a blessing because I should not be here. I love your words and we have a lot in common. Thank you for liking my blog. I will definitely follow yours. Writiing keeps me sane, Thank you! Continue your good work! See you soon.
I am so glad you shared that and I’m happy you’re still here! Thank you for your sweet words.I know exactly what you mean when you say “writing keeps me sane.” Take care and remember to smile : )

WOW!!
Inspirational to the core.
We all have hard times, but you just deny hard times and live it.
Well done you. And you are a blessing for others reading.
“Keep on, keeping on”

Thank you Shaun!
I try and show other people that anything is possible.. not with words but with my actions as well. People just have to be able to look past the “downfalls” life throws at us. Everyone has the strength to overcome and be a source of courage and inspiration. We can either chose to see the positive and learn from these life altering events or we can decide to dwell on the negative. I chose to be happy and positive. Who doesn’t want to be happy? Thanks for tagging along on my journey!
My pleasure, and thanks for joining mine.
I like a good laugh, and you seem the same.
Let the good times roll “As they say”
I don’t know who “They” are, they got a lot to say eh.. lol
Anyway, goofyness aside.
Really is my pleasure.
Shaun
Very inspiring young woman you are! And brave, for having gone through such ordeals as such young age. I am filled with respect and admiration! Keep sharing your amazing journey, Sara, the world needs more awakened souls like yours!
Thank you so much! Your words brought a smile to my face. I will keep sharing in hopes of inspiring others to follow their passions. If I can do it, so can you!
Hi Sara,
Thanks for stopping by and liking my post.Many blessings on your journey.
Thank you Joszann : ) I wish you well too! Always look for the silver lining in life
Thank you for popping by and liking my post! It’s nice to see other like-minded people! Keep doing your thang!
Thank you! You too! Don’t ever let anyone tell you what or how to think. Just be… YOU : )
Amen to that!
Hi Sara, thanks for following me it brought me here to your blog. You inspired me by how I see things in life…
Thank you so much! I encourage you to start looking for the little joys in everyday life. It may be something so small as a smile from a stranger… but what’s important is how those little things make you FEEL : ) So start smiling away so you can encourage others too!
Thanks for visiting my blog! Glad to see another like-minded soul
You’re very welcome.. the more I search the more I find of us : ) It’s a wonderful thing!
I’ve had it up to my ears with culture and people trying to crush my dreams. The sad part is I’ve always let people tell what I can’t do. People say things like that to those that dream because the ones that say you can’t are the very ones that can’t nor would even try. I have a dream and a passion but don’t know how to grab it other than just keep clicking the shutter button.
Exactly. You’ve got to listen to the voice inside of you… the one that says you can. The one that says you should… even if you decide later that you really didn’t like it. At least you found it out rather than always living a life wondering “what if.” It all starts with just a single step in the right direction. JUST ONE STEP. You can do ANYTHING you set your mind to. All you have to do is want it bad enough FOR YOURSELF. Keep at it. I believe in you.
Amen and EXACTLY!!!!
I’m so glad your “follow” brought me here. I really relate to what you shared about yourself and to what I’ve read so far. Looking forward to more…
Thank you very much Randy : )
Interesting… at 22…. if you are thinking about the basic fundamental issues of human existence which are centuries old… it is amazing…
I too started more or less at your age… but after long search… i gave up the search.. because there is nothing to search… ENDING the question is more important than findings answers to our questions….
Nice reading about you.

Hi Sara,
I got a notification telling me that you ‘liked’ my first blog post (thank you – at this early stage my ‘likers’ are few and far between!) so I decided to check out your profile. I had to comment and let you know I found this page very inspiring and am looking forward to checking out more of your blog. Stay smiling!

Thank you so much for the kind words! : )
True words come from experience, and you have had your share. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your journey.
Thanks for wanting to tag along! It’s a two way street. Everyone has things to share AND learn from one another. We’re all in this together : )
We control only two things I believe, effort and attitude. Seems you have focused on these two things.
Marty
I definitely like that. I’m adopting it.. I’ll let you know if I expand on it!
Effort an additude. I can dig it!
You have a philosophical bent which will underpin your thoughts and actions well.
Aw thank you Ian; you’re very sweet.
Love your thoughts on life and could not agree more. Glad to find you
