As you may know, Sarah spends most of her time on the road these days. What you may not know is that she actually hasn’t spent thirty consecutive days in one physical location since she graduated from college, which was five years ago. (It sounds impossible, but is true!) Starting July 10, she will be off the grid at a writing residency where she will be staying offline in pursuit of quiet, stillness, reading, and writing. She is excited and grateful for this opportunity to be away from the internet and the world.
