I’m really excited to share this video with you guys today! I rarely ever have a chance to make videos for the blog because, well, frankly it’s hard, and technical, and time consuming and there are a whole lotta skills involved that I don’t possess…Which is why when the new FYI network approached me to make this video and take care of all of the annoying parts, I was like, uh YES PLEASE!
The FYI network is all about “a creating-tasting-designing-
But back to my video ;) — shooting this was HILARIOUS. There were two huge cameras and about 8 crew people in the jungalow (which is about 1000 sq. ft.), it was hot and sticky (we have no air-co and this was filmed in August) and there were helicopters flying overhead pretty much the whole time which the poor sound dude was not at all happy about…But anyway…I had a blast and I hope you can sense that from this…Welcome to the Jungalow!! (finally with moving pictures!)
Excited to hear your thoughts and if you’d like to see more video around here! And 1000 thank you’s to the super talented team at FYI!

Experimentation and mistakes allowed–yes! You should make more videos. Your positivity and creative personality comes out even more in the medium.

I loved hearing your voice! You are so beautiful and talented, a true inspiration!

awww so sweet. Thank you!
Sarah says
Loved the video! You are truly radiant, and definitely come across so well through this medium. So much of what you said really resonated with me, particularly about perfection being unattainable and non-existent. This is something that I remind my children of often. I like the phrase, “Perfect is the enemy of good.” :)
Anyway, I definitely think that you should have your own show!
Justina says
he he . Thanks so much Sara, that is so nice to hear. have a great weekend!
