Travel Mementos and For the Love of Travel

 A fun (I hope!) little video on how travel surrounds me even when I am in between trips. 


Happy traveling or travel planning (it's always at least one, right?)

The Career Happiness Scale....Where do you Rate?

Image
 I am often thinking of ways to improve my happiness. This is not because I am an unhappy person, but because I want to maximize joy in my life. I tend to think a lot about career (and have devoted WAY too many years to pursuing career happiness), and about finding a calling. Not everyone pursues a vocation they feel "called to"-but I have always felt a pull to lead, to guide, to help, and to heal.  I am almost 5 months into my career as a primary care nurse practitioner. I know it is not a perfect fit----I would like to think I am pretty good about knowing what I enjoy overall, but it definitely has its ups and downs. On a particularly down moment a week ago, I started questioning myself. Did 30 months of very intense schooling and clinical (and more student loans and loads of energy, sweat tears) buy me that much more career happiness? If it did (or did not) how did I even measure that? Is there a scale?  Was I happier than when I was a teacher? Than when I was working ...

Sarah Who Wanders -Travel Series Part 1: Introduction

Image
 It has been a hot minute.  Okay, in all reality, it has been almost 10 MONTHS since I have written.  I thought maybe I just stop...maybe I start a new blog when I want to write (again), then I thought nope- just write Sarah .  I have excuses (don't we all?)-I started a new career in 2021 and grad school again in 2022 and then found a job I loved and decided to stop grad school (I may be a slight quitter BUT that was my 3rd time in grad school hahaha!). All that to say: life happened. It has been grand though, really and truly.  Anyone who knows me knows that I love to travel ( which might be a HUGE understatement ). I could spend days, weeks, and months creating the perfect itinerary and months after travel reflecting on and e-scrapbooking my journey, not to even mention the complete aphrodisiac for the soul that the actual travel is. It is like breathing to me, necessary but also exquisite when I reflect on it. I am frequently in awe of God's creation in my t...

Should Vs. Must...More Musings

Image
I have really been trying to examine my life recently. I am doing some hard, soul-searching work. It is not always pleasant to drudge up reasons behind why I feel I should do things. One book that has been immensely helpful to me is The Crossroads of Should and Must by Elle Luna. Not only is it a gorgeously rendered book with interactive pages, but the author also included so many quotes that just touch my insides. She speaks of how we each have things we feel we should do or be, and things we must do to live life to our fullest. This is different for everyone, but an example might be that someone feels they should be a doctor to make their parents proud, but they must be involved in photography. Now, this is not necessarily a run out and quit your day job-feel good  book, but one that reminds us sometimes a passion turns into a calling, and other times our calling is not what we are paid for but what we make time for (and then our job is just that...a job to pay bills). Obviously,...
