Roofs of Chulmleigh on a cloudy day

Asking for Simple Support

November 22, 2016 By Jodi

I didn't mention that we've taken a quick trip to England. We booked tickets last Wednesday, then flew on Saturday! We're visiting my husbands parents in the county Devon, in the southwest. We head back to Sweden tomorrow. Yesterday we had a pint in a pub in Chulmleigh, the small town near my in-laws' place. I wanted to...

The Blog that Made Me Want to Blog - A Cup of Jo

November 14, 2016 By Jodi

There's this blog that I've been reading for a couple years now. It's called A Cup of Jo and I've linked to it a few times from Dear Sabrina, including a couple days ago. While I don't love all the posts (I'm not particularly interested in beauty and fashion stuff, as you may have guessed already), I like...

On Fear, Vulnerability, and Starting a Blog

August 15, 2016 By Jodi

A few days ago I put a link to a Dear Sabrina post on my personal Facebook page for the first time. It wasn't my first post: it was my fifteenth. And I did it only after a couple friends had already posted links to this blog on their own Facebook pages. I know that at this point, Facebook...

Trusting My Audience

November 21, 2016 By Jodi 3 Comments

Today I'm letting you in on a little of the backend stuff that happens here at Dear Sabrina. I run this blog on WordPress, and I've installed a standard set of plug-ins (think of them as apps) to help me run different aspects of the backend. One of those, perhaps the most popular, is called...

Adult Supervision (not) Required

Chances are you have a memory of something you did as a child that made you feel free, independent, brave, capable. Something that society has now decided is unsafe. Where once children were allowed to play outside unsupervised, such an action is now perceived as negligent and possibly criminal.

My Secret, Irrational Hatred of Something Totally Benign

December 30, 2016 By Jodi 2 Comments

Woman walking in front of orange wall

I have a confession to make. There's something that I have an unreasonable and rather passionate dislike of. It's something that has no real effect in my life (except to make me cringe); has never done anything rude, unkind, or unfair to me; and is in itself rather innocuous. And yet, every time I see it,...

Happiness Project: January: Self-knowledge resolutions

March 30, 2021 By Jodi Leave a Comment

Solitary cabin in winter, we are all islands

Starting a happiness project is all the easier when someone does the legwork for you. Freed from having to think too much about it, it was easy to get started on January's theme of self-knowledge by picking up a handful of suggestions from Gretchen and throwing in a couple resolutions of my own.
