You’re looking at a Grade A, top-of-the-line weirdo.
She thinks meatloaf is a legit breakfast. Five out of seven people in her immediate family are left-handed. She wore a unicorn onesie to her daughter’s school, just for kicks. Most importantly, she named her business “Lessons in Concrete.” What in the actual fluff?
Lessons
The hard things—loss, hardship, failure, grief—teach us character, compassion, bravery, gratefulness, hope, and grit. I’ve got those in spades.
Concrete
Some truths you can’t turn your back on. They’re the ones you build your life and your business on. The words that push you out of bed in the morning. And I intend to write them, for myself and others.
More importantly, how did Sara become such a weirdo?
Baby, I was born this way. I also got the shit kicked out of me by life. So I did the opposite of what made sense: I laughed more, was kinder to others, and clung like a mother to hope. I stayed soft, no matter how much I’ve wanted to wall up, give up, and run to a desert island full of coffee cake and sugary drinks.
Mmm…coffee cake. Gotta go.
“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths.
These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep, loving concern.
Beautiful people do not just happen.”
– Elisabeth Kübler-Ross
What People Say
Sara is awesome. Quite possibly my favorite person in the world. She also has an impressive number of cowlicks.

If only I had known Sara while I was alive. I’m sure I would have admired and respected her. Doggone.

Sara without an “H” because “H’s” are “Ewww!”
