About Me

Sarah

Five years ago, life handed me an unexpected gift. It wasn't wrapped in pretty paper. And at first I didn't want to have anything to do with it. But the time has come to out myself. I am a writer and an artist. I am a mother. I am a loving wife. I am a devoted sister, daughter and friend. And I live a full life. And oh yah... I have bipolar disorder. Read the hopeful stories I tell on my blog at www.rootsb4branches.org.
