I have been called by the simplicity of what surrounds my every waking moment. I want to become the voice of reason, help guide whomever in the direction of deserved happiness. I find the gift of giving rewarding. I confidently state my reason based on growth, of happiness I found, and when I too help others search for their heighten potential, I find my presence serves a purpose, with that comes a happiness, grown flourishing. I was given the name Sarahpist not just because of what I do, and who I believe in, but because of my will never to give up, and the courage and strength I was given to make something out of nothing.
