Poets and Saints
…and the moms who try to be both.Hello. My name is…
Thorton Wilder. No, that’s not my name. But Thorton Wilder did write these lines from his play Our Town which inspired the title of this blog:
“Do any human realize life while they live it?”
“No, the poets and the saints do. They do some.”
My name is Sara and I’m trying to “realize life” in a city in the Midwest with my husband and three-year-old daughter. I’m an adoptive mother, the wife of a cancer survivor, and a former teacher turned playwright and nonfiction writer.
I knit (not very well), make gourmet food, read the classics, grow perennial flowers and organic veggies (when my child isn’t picking them) and pretend that I am Jane Austen as I write (not really, but it’s a nice thought).
I write about things that inspire me: these are the daily inspirations that make my house a home and make me a better wife, mother, woman and writer.
On this blog you’ll find lots to inspire you too. From stories about raising children, to making my home a lovely place to live, to warming my soul with a good book or sharing an unforgettable story. It’s about faith and friends. Home and soul.
Together we will inspire one another.
