About Me

Hello and thanks for visiting!

This here is my diary of all the things
I find interesting or useful.

Who am I?
My name is Sara (without the h). I'm 22 but feel a lot older. I was born in a small town in Poland and was fortunate enough to build my little nest in New Jersey. At the age 9 horses became my passion and since then I have been perfecting my skills in Hunter style riding and jumping. Unfortunately I have not been able to own a horse due to finances but it is my dream to do so in the future. I tied the knot with my husband in 2016 and have been happily married since. I work full time in the evenings in a Nursing home and go to school in the mornings to become a Registered Nurse.
What makes my world spin?

Food:
I decided to become a vegetarian at age 12 and I have been very successful. I will not eat anything that "had a face" although I do enjoy eggs and diary. Cooking is something I do on daily basis for myself and my non-vegetarian husband. You may be able to find some of my recipes throughout this blog. My biggest weakness is chocolate.

Entertainment:
I love watching TV shows here is a complete list of my favorites
- The Walking Dead and Fear the Walking Dead
- Gray's Anatomy and the sister show Private Practice
- Breaking Bad and the sister show Better Call Saul
- Once Upon a Time
- Orange is the New Black
- House M.D.
- ER
- Gossip Girl
- Criminal Minds and CSI Miami
- Burn Notice

 Sports and Activities:
I enjoy rock climbing, Hiking, Water Sports, and of course Hunter Jumping <3

Books:
See the above tab for Current reading and book reviews.

It is funny where life can take you sometimes. You will make plans and set goals again and again and little will ever go as planned. But regardless of what happens "the carousel never stops spinning" (Gray's Anatomy). This is my life and here I write my stories...

Book Review: The Husband's Secret

Image
Book Review  I have not yet been disappointed by a Liane Moriarty book. For those of you that have not heard of her, she is an Australian author that has made a huge breakthrough in the United States with her many compelling pieces.          This particular novel (like some of her other books) is written from the point of view of many female characters in the story. Through those accounts the reader is able to piece a complete picture of what the book is about. The story begins with one of the main characters Cecilia finding a mysterious envelope from her husband who is away on a business trip, a letter to be opened only after his death. She calls him and he asks her not to open the envelope as he is embarrassed by what he has written to her. Cecilia puts the envelope away and on the story goes with the other characters.          In a different part of Australia Tess finds out that her husband too has a secret. He has fallen in love with her best friend and thus her marriage

Long Time no See + Great News!!!

Hi Again!!!!! Long time no see. I took a break from writing this blog as there have been many things in happening in my life over the past month that required a lot of my time. First and foremost I have finished my A&P I class with an A while maintaining one full time and two part time jobs AND riding one to twice a week. *Insert exhausted emoticon here* 😤 As for riding I have been doing more work with Baron finally getting him to respect my cues. I know I haven't posted much about Baron yet so here it goes. Baron is a 16 hand 17 year old, ex-dressage Gray Warmblood. He is a lesson horse at the stables I'm currently at. I'm very excited to be riding him because I feel like he allows me to get back to the basics. His cool temper allows me to focus more on my composure and less on freaking out and hoping to god I won't fall. I have had my share of really bad falls and injuries in the past and at 22 I can longer afford to be getting hurt and being out of commi

Thoughts on Media, Objectification and Eating Disorders.

       When I was younger I was a fat kid. Not the chubby cute kind but the kind other kids laughed at, and didn't talk to, and even threw sand in their face. I had a tall heavy frame accentuated by my grandmother's love of spoiling me with candy and chocolate. I liked food. I liked food a lot.         It wasn't until 6th grade that my body image took a toll on me. I was in middle school and I wanted nice clothes and maybe even a boyfriend. So I did the only thing I could. I stopped eating, I had my parents drive me to the gym most days, I even took diet pills. I went from a Size 16 to a size 8; from 210 lbs to 147 lbs. in less then a year. The kids in school loved looking at me. Those who I haven't seen in a while congratulated me on my new appearance and my fashionable clothes.         But they didn't know that I was always hungry. They didn't know I would crack and binge eat then force myself to throw it up in the toilet. To them my suffering was  me getti
