Hello Sunday. I have news. Not quite how I’d thought I’d come out with this 🙂 but it feels right. I just don’t care anymore about TMI. Am not good at pretending, tired of hiding. This post (what I’ve written on my website) may end up being unnecessary but feel I’m supposed to share this part of the process (and how it feels) anyway. Link to what I wrote is in my bio. Or go to SARMARAW.COM and it’s the first post. ✨ Take a peek at @purefoodandwine and then also @oneluckyduck and maybe follow if you don’t already, I intend to reactivate those accounts. I am so close. Can I admit this is scary? It’s like a trust-fall but I don’t even know who’s behind me. Also exciting. Also I love you all. Extra love for every single person who’s sent good vibes, encouragement, telling me you’re rooting for me and this. It’s for you. And Leon. Love > Fear. ✨🦆🌱 (I write a lot of words. It was hard to keep what I wrote from being longer bc there’s more to say. Thank you)
😳 Weird Monday. Had a good cry then needed to reset. Like a big dork. According to @hubermanlab I think *nine* minutes of uplifting music will in fact lift your mood. Maybe tomorrow I’ll wash my hair. (Also huge thank you for preordering my memoir I love you) 📚
Figured I should shower and wash my hair. 🤓 it being a new year and all. Getting ready to turn my📕 draft in and then game on for all the rest. I’ve been hiding too long. One day I’ll write the stories of this last year too. ✨ LOVE especially to those who’ve also maybe been going through a dark couple years of the soul, or otherwise isolated. 💓✨🙏🏻🩵🪐❤️🩹
I felt compelled to finish the edits on my book draft before 2024 ended and after my year end sprint, there she is. Printed (on bamboo paper), ready to go back to editor this week and get on her way to be out in the world and hopefully useful. 🎉🙏🏻✨ I skipped Xmas entirely. Meant to at least write cards, had the pile, didn’t write them. Forgive me. 🙂 Letting my roots grow. 2024 was a cocoon year? 🦋💫 It was also the year of Leon crossing the 🌈 bridge, now I understand the concept of grief involving that love swirling without its object and creating what feels like pain. My work going forward is for him. And you. A couple of people out there carried me. Helped immensely. You know who you are. Thank you 🙏🏻 May 2025 be the year of more smiles. And rebuilding, in all sorts of ways. 💫 🙂 I LOVE YOU ALL. 💓

The last two years… (or more) I’ve mostly lived like a hermit, quietly working on things (including myself) and careful who to trust. Is this the year I get to come back, and give it all to you? I have so many stories. Some being written now. Some filmed. I want them all to be useful. 🙏🏻💓🌱✨ Thank you. I love you. @oneluckyduck @purefoodandwine 🦆🌱✨
I posted a chapter of my upcoming memoir at sarmaraw.com. (click on the “writing” tab, or will link in bio links) … (also please sign up for email list on that site for updates, thank you) p.s. … all I want for Christmas …

Coming soon. Finally. (June?) 📚✨ My story. My words. For you. I’ve always wanted my story to be useful. Grateful to all who helped along the way. Grateful in advance to all who will read it. It’s a long book. 🙂 If you want me to sign a copy to you, there’s a link at top of my bio links for limited pre-sales direct from me. Or in highlight stories. Or you can find it at my website. It’s priced way higher than it will eventually be on Amazon etc because it comes with me signing it to you, packing and shipping it to you, with love, AND because I’m publishing independently (via @scribemediaco whom I love) which means no advance and cost to cover upfront, but in exchange I retain all ownership and control. (Basically, you’re helping me a lot with these pre-sales.) ✨🙏🏻 Working on things that pay off in the future has made the last couple of years extra fun 😬 and by fun I mean quietly stressful month after month. 😬🩷🙏🏻 An alternative way to get a signed copy locked in for you is to join my Patreon at either of the top levels, one of which also comes with a Zoom w me. That’s been a small but supportive community. It’s where I write more personally. If you want to join I encourage doing it from a desktop/laptop otherwise Apple charges a bunch extra. I love my Patreon community. 💓🙏🏻✨ (Patreon.com/sarmasarma). *There’s also a public post there about this book and how to get a pre-order if you want me to mail it to you outside the U.S.* Writing this book has been grueling, painful, exhilarating, agonizing, cathartic, confusing, relieving, sad, gratifying, maddening, inspiring, and more. Doing this on my own means I could use all the help I can get in spreading the word, when the time comes, if you find reading it useful, valuable, inspiring, or just entertaining. Thank you. ✨🙏🏻 I LOVE YOU. Cover design: @doorsixteen 📚✨ #memoir #memoirs #selfpublishing #booksofinstagram
I’m not sure if it’s what I eat or supplements or that gloating about having no gray keeps it so. Please allow me this win. I have taken one youth-promoting supplement for a few years, link in story highlights labeled “products”, from Oxford Health. (Apparently it’s sold out but the GF version is in stock basically the same) Soon I’ll get back to blonde. For the record still no gray. I look super evil in one of those pics 😳😬 I love you. And all beings on this planet. 🌏🌱 especially dogs.
Happy end of Thanksgiving weekend to those who were alone, or were not but wanted to be, or otherwise are in a place where holidays are complicated. Also to anyone who feels broken and had to put on a show. Or anyone who feels like a failure and wanted to skip the whole thing or anyone who wants to skip it all. Anyone for whom no words will ever help. Anyone looking for a life raft or an escape hatch. This I love you is for you. ✨💓🙏🏻
Finally stickered my 🍎 and 2025 planner. #priorities @octonation @alittlebitculty @oneluckyduck My stuff, including my heart, will always be stickered with Leon. Also want to show you my book cover but it’s too soon. 📚😬
