"Why Am I Still Thinking About This Day?"

October 13, 2016 By Jodi

I listened to a podcast last week that I've been thinking about ever since. It was an episode of Magic Lessons (Season 1, Episode 10) in which Elizabeth Gilbert talks to the humorist John Hodgman about creativity and trying new things. Hodgman explains that at a friend's prompting, he scheduled a series of weekly shows at a small theater in Brooklyn....

Four Fun Words

I love words. In high school, my English class was roundly chastised by our teacher for not being intellectually curious enough to look up words we didn't know (while reading Crime and Punishment—I sort of felt getting through that tome was task enough without having to stop every page or two to look up new words!).

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...
