Sarah's Story
Life
Artist/Owner/Proprietor of Primrose Path Properties/guest cottages accommodations/Down the Primrose Path~Artist Studio.
After living many bachlorette years on the upper West Side of Manhattan - working and going to school in NYC, I moved west on a whim 24+ years ago. Jumping from one island to another, I have lived the idyllic life on Whidbey Island - living by the water on several acres..I live on a wonderful island N of Seattle --miles away in distance and comparison to Long Island~! This semi-rural island is a little wrinkle in the fabric of time, with an eclectic array of artisans and free-spirits. I spend my *free time* doing art, volunteering and walking my beautiful beach to get the creative juices flowing.
Over the years I feel I have been very blessed to have had a strong connection to my community and have been involved with the infrastructure of my environs. My community is my family --with tons of love and support! I landed in a good place and couldn't ask for more nurturing from my neighbors and extended "family". For not knowing a soul when I first came out here over two decades ago, I have managed to piece together an involved & meaningful life.
I own and manage guest accommodations (Whidbey Island is often called the "West Coast Martha's Vinyard"), having started my business from scratch 18+ years ago with one guest cottage, and building my portfolio up to a high point of six -- now with personal changes in my life and the economy(!), I have three rental properties.
I have spent the majority of these past two decades raising my son Landon --a fine young man who is very much his own person. Landon, now 23 and quite the adult, graduated High School in 2005 and spent the year after traveling in Europe, working and saving his money for college. He has finished his second year at EverGreen State College in Olympia, where he lives, after spend...Expand for more
ing part of his first year (2nd semester) in Turkey & Egypt last spring. He is quite well traveled --(Far better than me~!), having traveled and studied extensively throughout western Europe, parts of eastern Europe and parts of South America.
I am a travel bug as well and have done many road trips with my family. I have traveled throughout Canada, Vancouver Island, all throughout the southwest, California and all up and down the eastern seaboard. This October, I did my second road trip in less than a year down the westcoast, and made my way across the southwest to Austin TX.
Music is another pulse in my life -- I play the guitar and sing --sometimes solo, sometimes with friends and sometimes with my son, who is a budding musician himself. My tastes are varied and often dependent on whim & mood, but folk, international and jazz are particular favorites of the moment.
My hobbies include gardening, reading, volunteering and kayaking. I do lots of volunteer projects in my community and am a board member of my Chamber of Commerce. Home improvement projects are also big on my list, since I have an older home and it screams for my attention!
After many years (23!) of marriage, my ex-husband & I parted ways this year. People change -- It has been hard, but nessesary and good for growth at this point in life. I remain hopeful and positive. I am going forward and even have a new love in my life --*hint* He is from Texas --see below!
Last fall/winter, I lived in the Austin area, renting a primative rock cabin. I regrouped and spent time healing/planning the next part of this life journey. After going back down to the rock cottage again this past Oct, I am now back in the Northwest and "wintering" for 2009/2010 in my cottage on Whidbey. My Texas love has returned with me to Whidbey Island, where we are collaberating on a new life....It is all a journey.......
