Yesterday was a somewhat stressful day for me. I had to write an essay for a scholarship for France and I was digging my heels in big time – turns out, I don’t like describing my goals and dreams to a complete stranger and then having those goals and dreams be judged as to whether [...]
Now that I’ve finished the application to study in France, there’s suddenly a lot of empty space in my head. And since nature abhors a vacuum, it’s being filled with the clamoring of things that wish to be healed. You’ll recall that I took September off on retreat and that was good. It helped me [...]
Hannah really wanted to share how grateful she is for all of your support, and so I asked her to write a little something to share with you. She’s written it so beautifully, that’s about all the introduction it needs. Take it away, Hannah. “I’ve tried to write this message a few times over [...]
Sometimes I wonder if I am, in fact, one of the densest people alive. Really and truly. But maybe this is just the lesson I need to learn right now. Again and again, if I don’t do anything creative for longer than 3 days, I’m seriously cranky. The sad thing is, I then wonder why [...]
I had a realization this morning. A really obvious one actually, but I can be dense sometimes. When I do something for me and my own reasons, I succeed. When I do something to prove myself, or get approval, or from a sense of guilt, I never get anywhere. Really simple, but it explains a [...]
Don’t worry, I’m not going to start telling you that you need to eat organic foods and reduce your carbon footprint – many others are doing that far better than I could. No, I’m talking about my business, my career. Lately, I’ve woken up to the merits of organic growth. Note: this post will ramble [...]
I feel as though something needs to radically change in my life. I think something needs to radically change in my approach to life. Because I am sick and freaking tired of running around in circles, constantly coming back to this feeling. I’m not doing the things that make me happy. And yet I’m not [...]
I kind of had an epiphany last night. It was an unexpected one, from a conversation where I least expected it, but it basically amounts to this: I need to learn how to be happy. But I definitely don’t need to change or fix who I am. Now I know all of you are sitting [...]
I was writing in my journal this morning about success, a topic that I continually struggle with. I’ve been trying to reframe it, into something I can grasp. I think part of my problem is that I see success as so far away, so distant that I can’t figure out what I want because I [...]
If found, please return to Sarah Marie Lacy, Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. No, seriously. Somewhere, between finishing the show and moving to PEI, my confidence seems to have misplaced itself temporarily. Maybe I forgot to pack it? I was never exactly Janice Dickinson when it came to confidence, but I wasn’t hiding under the covers [...]
