Witnessing Life

Hi there, my name is Sara Nevels. I'm a recent graduate from Arizona State University with a BA in Human Communication. I am deeply inspired by creativity and originality. Oh, and sometimes I dabble in that myself.

My life consists of a lovely family, great friends, a hilariously adorable mutt, more sunshine than my pasty skin sometimes desires, loads of art (photography, film, theatre, live music, fashion shows, art galleries, etc), and an undeniable need for more.

Droplets of Love

I have been aching for a day like today for far too long. I fell asleep and woke to the beautiful sounds of rain, and I am now spending my afternoon listening to the fall of HAIL, thunder, and more rain! I love sunshine, but here in Arizona, it can get boring after awhile. I guess too much of anything will have you yearning for change. But there is something about a dark, gloomy, wet day that gives me relief. I feel calm, not anxious. My body has released the stress I’ve been feeling, and I no longer feel the “go go go” sensation that I often do. Maybe it’s because I really have no where to go today, but even if I did, I probably wouldn’t (because driving around in this town while it’s raining is not as much fun). I think the rain gives me the freedom to do what I want, an excuse to be irresponsible. It gives me the permission to relax, and the inspiration to love. : )
