Welcome!

Hi there! I can’t believe I am FINALLY launching this new space (it’s been a long time coming, and I’m finally diving in with both feet!). I am so excited, and I hope you are too! This space will serve as a chronicle of my life in an attempt to record-keep and document the lessons, seasons, and phases of what I hope is a well-lived life.

Here is a bit about me to give you a glimpse as to what’s to come in this space:

I’m a southern girl to the core and was raised on smocked dresses, big bows, and monogrammed everything. I don’t think I truly realized what being a southerner meant until I went off to college where a large demographic of the student body was from the northeast, but that’s a story for another day! I’m a firm believer that when we dress our best, we feel our best. Above all, I’m very much an old soul who strives to carry myself with class, grace, and a ladylike disposition even when life gets chaotic and challenging. I believe in the power of love, kindness, and good manners to make the world a better place.

If you’ve ever met me, you’ve witnessed how I tend to approach even mundane life experiences with grandiose plans and visions. Then, I often grow a little (or a lot) disappointed because life does not live up to the fairytale I concoct in my head. Yet, I somehow find a way to craft these experiences into tales of self-growth and self-discovery. It’s a peculiar trait but one that I believe will serve me well on this platform.

I believe the purpose of life is deeper than the 9-5 grind, and that we aren’t meant to spend our lives stuck in one place. While I might not know exactly what this looks like and it’s a pursuit somewhat foreign to the way we’re taught to live, the world telling me something isn’t possible makes it that much more appealing to me. My desire to travel and truly see and experience the world fills me with such enthusiasm and passion, and hopefully, this is something I can pursue in my life post-college and share on this platform. From weekend getaways to escapades across the globe (this plan is on hold – #corona), I seek to find adventure and meaning in all experiences.

Through much trial-and-error, I have learned that happiness lies in balance, not in perfection (don’t worry, we’ll cover this later!). I hope you find this space to be one of authenticity and humble humanity – I’m far from perfect (and I’ve learned perfection is an illusion), but I do strive to always be better tomorrow than I was today.

To learn more about my vision for this space, head over to my “about” page which probably needs some sprucing up, or check out my home page for a brief overview. I’m still very new to this, but I’m eager to learn and bursting at the seams to share my perspectives and adventures.

So, welcome! I am tickled pink you’re here, and I’d love it if you’d follow along and subscribe for posts and exclusive content to your inbox. I truly cannot wait to grow this space and share my journey to joy with each of you.

Love,

Sarah Beth
