Welcome (Back)

This feels a little weird to (re)introduce myself. It’s almost like I’ve forgotten how to write, when writing was once my livelihood.

But, hi! Welcome to my corner of the internet. Glad to have you here.

My name is Sarah. I’m a 32-year old living in the Capital Region of New York with my fiance Gerald and black cat named Samhain. Once upon a time, I used to spew my feelings on the internet and review products on a website named Life with Sarah. It was a passion project I loved with my whole heart, but was embarrassed to actually share. If anyone ever found my blog, I would have been mortified. Wanting to be an influencer, but never wanting anyone to know about it. The complexes started early…

Life with Sarah took a back seat when I decided to go back to college while working a full-time (and then some) job in a field I never would have thought: event coordination. I fell in love with my job in municipal government as a Marketing & Special Events Coordinator and I grew up a lot in that field. I learned that I’m a conduit of connectivity, relationship building is something I’m passionate about and that I’m meant to live a life filled with big goals and dreams. I have always loved storytelling and writing, but couldn’t make it a priority as I juggled a new career with responsibilities, friendships and a budding relationship. I also didn’t know what direction I wanted to take the website, since I wasn’t doing product reviews as much and I wasn’t living an exciting life of travel to consider myself a travel vlogger… so the website sat vacant for almost three years.

Then, I moved to the Capital Region to move in with my boyfriend, fiance. I met my mentor, Brittany, and I uttered the words I never ever thought I would: I want to be my own boss someday. I established that I want to open my own business within the next five years… however, slight issue: I have ZERO idea what said business will be. Luckily, we have four more years of said five-year plan to figure it out…

I started making Tiktoks and realized how much I missed sharing my story (even if I didn’t think it was interesting). I missed taking the time to work on something, creating a story. Then I made my goals and intentions list for 2026… and within those goals and intentions, I said I wanted to get back into writing. (I specifically said creative writing, but let’s not get carried away just yet).

And with that - here we are. I don’t know if this website will just be a placeholder until I figure out the business model I want to establish. If I’ll bring Life with Sarah back to its heyday. Or if I just spitball on the internet like I used to. What I do know? I am making myself accountable by honoring my goals & intentions and I’m writing the damn post.
