Just a little about me

   Hi Everyone! This post is meant to be just an introduction and to let you know why I'm doing this in the first place :)

   First off ... I'm Sarah and I'm 26 and my wonderful husband and life have brought me all around this country. Adam, my husband, and I are native Ohioans (and yes we bleed scarlet and grey) but over the last 3 years we have been moving all around for his career with Nestle. We started off 12 hrs away from home in Waverly, Iowa then moved 27 hrs away from our Ohio home to Orem, Utah and now here we are just a short 5.5 hrs away in Columbia, Maryland. If you are thinking we are absolutely crazy - you'd be spot on. It’s been a crazy, stressful, fun adventure that I wouldn't change for anything. 

   I am also a LGSW (licensed graduate social worker) and have a Masters in Social Work. My career is my passion and gives my life a ton of purpose (and a few premature wrinkles haha). Over the past few years I have worked with a private adoption agency, a residential treatment facility with adolescents aged 12-18 and as a lead therapist for an adult mental health and chemical dependency program at an acute psychiatric hospital. There is never a dull moment in social worker - and I wouldn't change that for the world!

   Aside from therapy, I also love fitness. I do not by any means consider myself an expert but one who learns constantly from trial and error. I enjoy running and trying new and challenging things in the fitness world. Recently I started running races and have completed a 5K and a half marathon and have several upcoming events including a 10K, 12 miler, and a super intense Savage Race! 

  Okay now onto why I am writing this blog.... it is partly for me - to keep myself motivated and to hold myself accountable to my goals and aspirations both professionally and personally. I am also creating this as a place to share things that are meant to inspire and motivate and some just for fun. The blog is titled Zen and Sweat- and it's meant to be just that, a place for physical and mental health and mindfulness and of course for some fun :)  So here's to some Zen and sweat!
