Well, we went one more place. Which I thought was cute enough to have it’s very own post. However, when Alison mentioned our little field trip to a local … Continue reading→ Walking Aberdeen with Alison 21 Jul '14 © 2014 Sarabeth Jones. All rights reserved. In June of 2014, my daughter Elizabeth and I went on an absolutely incredible trip together visiting the Chinos in Aberdeen, Scotland, staying in Paris, France for a couple of days, and doing mission work…

And since I’m sure it’s going to affect my life in ways that I’m going to talk about on twitter and facebook and instagram and oh yeah, when I see you in person – I thought I would simplify things. Instead of you wondering what in the world I’m doing, and me fumbling through an explanation, I would just write a post! Easy peasy! Only now, I’m a little nervous. I’m worried that you’ll think I’m weird,…

It’s a witty, wise book, and what I love about it is that all these acting guideposts are really about the way real people behave in real life all the time. I’ve gotten to teach these guideposts while working with other actors, and one of my favorites is the one called opposites. It’s always fun, because you’ve been doing all these exercises to figure out your character, digging into who they really are by looking at…

So I just spent the last hour looking over my blog because I had an idea that I might have missed a few things in 2011 that I meant to post about. Never do that, people. Not only did I realize that I have definitely missed more than a few things – in fact, I missed some big ones (and maybe a couple of months ENTIRELY) – I also found things on my blog that I had completely forgotten. So, of course, I Evernoted them. Did you catch that? I Evernoted my own blog. I…

← → © 2011 sarabethjones. All rights reserved. the help 19 Aug ’11 As I walked into the movie theater, I thought: I shouldn’t have come without a black friend. I quickly brushed it off – the gathering happened quickly, the white women with me were good friends. Good people, dedicated to the idea of racial unity. It wasn’t that I intentionally excluded anyone black, I just wasn’t intentional about including anyone black. I glanced around the room. Groups of white women, groups of black women. Not one group had both. It was the opening night of The Help. I settled into my seat, ate some popcorn, checked my twitter…

← → © 2011 sarabethjones. All rights reserved. this may be when I get the crickets 12 Jan ’11 I’m about to do something I never do, at least here on this blog. I’m asking you to come to church. I’ve never done that here, at least not that I can recall. I rarely do it in person, either, because I don’t want to be that person. The one you want to avoid. The fact is, most of you that read this blog probably go to church with me already. But some of you don’t. This invitation is for all of you. Whether you go to church with me, or…
