Thank you! I loved learning about how we started out as a city. The history commission was a great resource!

My biggest hurdle is my 6'6" husband. You did mean that literally, right? :)

Re: In which I want to talk about the If: Gathering with you

I, too, have had many thoughts, fears, hope, and doubts about IF. So glad to read about it from your perspective, Sarah. Thank you.

Re: #StoryChicago NOT a Sense of Place for Blacks

sarabeth — Thu, 26 Sep 2013 14:29:43 -0000

Grace, I just wanted to thank you for writing this - I work at a church, in the South, that is working hard for racial reconciliation and unity. It is a long road, and it is good to read such a thoughtful piece - I really appreciate everything you brought into it. Especially the point that it's not harmless; the whiteness of certain events comes at a cost to the black community. It can be all too easy for me to forget.

I'm a creative and have looked at Story, but honestly one of the reasons I haven't gone is that I've gotten tired of seeing the lineups at conferences and seeing them be all-white, often all-male. So grateful that you didn't just not go; that you went and engaged and then wrote honestly about your experience. I have much hope that Story will respond well. Thanks again!

I love this story so much! I had no idea all that happened!

Re: Marks the Spot: The view from here

sarabeth — Thu, 24 Jan 2013 14:02:55 -0000

I love this. Makes me remember those moments in my life. And wonder what they will be for my kids; it won't be what I think it will.

Plus I just love the reminder - "each of us is simply a collection of things, and tread lightly..."

Thank you.

So interesting! I'm going to put both of these on my to-watch list. Cheers to making goals and accomplishing them!

Amanda - thank you so much! It's truly been one of my favorite pieces.

Re: In which I have a [powerful] free download for you :: In which I am practicing

sarabeth — Sun, 04 Nov 2012 15:28:32 -0000

I said this in my email to you, Sarah, but I want to say it again for anyone reading here: memorizing these words was a gift to me, truly. I keep saying to myself - I will practice, painfully, over and over, patience and peace until my gentle answers turn away even my own wrath...

I have teenagers. And hormones. I need those words all the time. :)

Thank you again for writing them, and for your wonderful graciousness in all of this.

Re: Marks the Spot

So so so proud of you. It's a hard thing to do - heck, I was a psych major in college and it still took a major life crisis to finally get me to a therapist. But a good one is an absolute GIFT; most of us don't have the time, skills, or opportunity to know ourselves well. It's a wonderful thing to be able to talk it over with someone who has those skills.

I'm so proud of you. Did I say that yet? Rooting for you, Kelli.

Re: Marks the Spot: The one where I curse a whole lot

sarabeth — Mon, 06 Aug 2012 21:44:35 -0000

I get it. I think no matter what we do, and how successful we are, there's always something we wish we were doing. How could there not be? There is more to do in this world than we could ever cover...

I hope you know: you are a good baker AND a good writer. And I think you will continue to do both. And I can't wait to find out the rest of the story.

Love you. :)

I am so excited for you with this! And admitting fear is a good healthy thing to do. People who are never afraid aren't taking big enough risks.

And I agree with Jen - when I'm about to perform something on stage, I'm always nervous, and it tends to be about 1 or 2 specific parts. I was told long ago to fully imagine those parts going as well as they possibly could. It doesn't mean they will :) but somehow it helps me to let go.

I love getting to read your writing - I'm so glad you've kept at it. Look forward to whatever, and whenever, you decide to share...
