I love Sara's work and her confidence with an unconventional life. And I love how your questions help to illuminate the real balancing act of choosing to be an artist. Bravo to you both!

Great interview! I've been having financial anxiety lately but yesterday I stopped myself and realized if I had complete control over my days I would want them to look very much like they do. That is worth a lot. And that was what I thought of as I build my life, not retirement. But now as I age, retirement does matter in how I build by days going forward--well sometimes the fact that I didn't think much about it gets to me. This article brings me back to the possible, and the why. Thank you.

Love this:

"[I]f I had complete control over my days I would want them to look very much like they do."

That's such a gift, Shana. You're right: it is indeed worth a lot.

Thanks, Demi. That's definitely the hope. I love to see someone like Sara making a go of it with such heart and integrity and candor and pluck. Glad you dug it too.
