Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?
— Matthew 6:26
 

Hey, Hey!

My name is Sammy, and welcome!

I was born and raised in Southern California, and now I live in the beautiful PNW with my family on our small farm. Within these blog posts and photos, you’ll find a little bit of everything - conversations with friends, playlists, reviews of concerts, and the reality of someone living with Chronic Illness and anxiety.

I hope this becomes a place of wildflowers and sunsets for you when this world gets shaky. I pray that in between laughs and tears you find Jesus in the center of it all.

I love….

creating a never before heard story on blank paper, I love walking down Disneyland’s Main Street U.S.A while eating a churro. I love buying art supplies only to have a collection of unused sketchbooks and journals, I love listening to new Taylor Swift albums only to call each song, ‘my favorite one!’. I love spending time outside in nature, I love spending time with all of our four-legged family members on our farm. I love drinking iced coffee and rewatching The Last Song over and over again.

Why Rare?

I was diagnosed with my Myotonic Dystrophy in the summer of 2018. Since then, rare has been a huge part of who I am. Rare can be scary, but I don’t want anyone to feel like that, whether just diagnosed or have been living with an illness for years. I am your advocate and friend and we can do this together!
