In this inspiring talk, Sarah utilized her own personal journey to illustrate how a few Universal concepts can reshape one’s life. What we include in our narratives is paramount to who we are as people and through mindfulness we can find the balance between understanding the expectations of our environment and the person we strive to be. 

Sarah Howell currently resides in the airy North Georgia Mountains with her auburn-haired mutt, Reuben. They enjoy the outdoors hiking the local ranges, getting their paws dirty in the garden, and stargazing at night. She has many passions and interests mostly revolving around fine arts, creativity, nature, and expanding her mind. She enjoys reading, writing, discussing philosophy and positive psychology over hot tea, singing, playing music, photography, terrarium building, meditation, holistic health and alternative therapies. Ultimately, Sarah believes in the power of narrative and its ability to shape our everyday lives. What we include in our narratives is paramount to who we are as people and perhaps what is more noteworthy is that which we fail to include in our narrative. Finding the seam between inclusion and exclusion is where we find the most salient insights into our humanity. 
Sarah wants to live in a world where people are more mindful and are more able to forgive one another, particularly themselves. She 
believes that we are all multidimensional beings living in the 
collective human experience. This complex landscape leaves us with many illusions of separateness and being disconnected, not 
only from one another but from the Self. Once we reclaim our 
Oneness we will reclaim the power in our individual lives.
