I’ve always admired the care that Sarah takes of herself, her home, and her dogs (though you can’t see them in this painting, they are just beyond view for sure). To me that demonstrates her strength. She splits her time between the countryside of central Virginia and Washington, D.C. She works in a law firm in D.C. where she sometimes finds herself drained by the energy required to do what she does. So she has created a peaceful second home in the country where she can re-energize. Her space is very important to her and I think that knowing and caring for yourself is so important. If we don’t care for ourselves, how can we care for others?
