Sarah Reijonen (pronounced "Rain-in" like it's rainin' outside) is a proud linewife who has spent the last decade on the road with her rambling lineman husband, "Spanky." Spanky and Sarah have lived out of their fifth wheel and gone where the work was—usually in northern California—but they recently moved "home" to Washington State to be closer to family. They work hard but also play hard. Since getting his journeyman ticket in 2009, Spanky and Sarah have been to 40 countries—a life afforded by the trade and their love for adventure. Sarah studied journalism at Washington State University, but she is passionate about teaching young people that a college degree is not the only path toward success. ...more

Watch yourself. Challenge yourself.

Last week I wrote a 1,000-word blog about why people should quit FB. As I wrote it, I thought, I probably shouldn’t post this high-horsed rant, but I was going to anyhow.

That evening, my book about friendship focused on speaking the truth in love and sometimes just not speaking at all. It said that sometimes the things we invest in—some of which might be bad habits or unhealthy behaviors—might no

Quotes by Sarah Reijonen (?)

“How you live your life is up to you. You have to go out and grab the world by the horns. Rope it before it ties you down and decides for you.”

“I ease into the idea of letting go of control and simply let life take the reins. And when I don't hold it so tightly, it doesn't thrash against me so wildly. It calms to a trot and allows me to take in the scenery, experience love, and learn what is important in this world: people, places, memories—not things or perceptions.”

“Most of the writers I know work every day, in obscurity and close to poverty, trying to say one thing well and true. Day in, day out, they labor to find their voice, to learn their trade, to understand nuance and pace. And then, facing a sea of rejections, they hear about something like Barbara Bush’s dog getting a book deal.”
