Happy for Sarah

Even when she's sitting still her mind's in constant motion, plotting, calculating, searching, researching, remaking plans into something better and forever finding deals.

Sometimes she stops all of the external agendas to focus within to think, feel, write, let her fortifications down and share with others.

Most of the time she's a master juggler of teenage girls, a sick husband, full time work from home job with 40 fragile people she ensures are getting what they need to survive, daughter to pastoral parents, committed to running and exercise routines preventing her body from showing her age as she fools everyone who exclaims, "WHAT? THAT BODY GAVE BIRTH TO FOUR CHILDREN?"

It's an impossibly busy and complicated life she rules rather than reacts to as she's forever changing course to keep steering the boat in the right direction to reach the goals of ... simplicity.

Life will be unplugged,  disconnected, lacking technology and complications where home is a shack on a Palm Tree Beach with sandy floors, open windows and trade winds for air conditioning. Friends are good but few and there's plenty of time for long walks, longer talks, learning the new language, making music, great food and love.

She never loses sight of where we're going regardless of the obstacles in our way.

Of course it's BOTH Mother's Day and her Birthday!

She's far too much of a woman to be contained into one celebratory day!

We'll do as much as we can to make it special for you though we're doomed to never come close to what you make every day for us.

Happy Everything Sarah!

You deserve everything because you are everything!

I love you,

ME
