Thought provoking sayings from Sara

  •  ”Take the leap, blind, deaf, and dumb in order to see, hear, and feel because that is leaping in faith - and what you need to see, to hear and to feel will be revealed.”
  • “Get out of your head and trust your heart and soul. It'll never lie to you. It'll always lead you down the right path.”
  •  ”When you're aware you care. When you care, you do something about it.”
  •  ”Step into allowing and follow the path that is before you. - it will reveal, listen, learn, and apply.”
