A Shoutout to Sara.
Something very cool happened on Friday. Sara’s friend Rachael Horovitz had an article published in Rolling Stone. 
The “young creator” referenced in the title is … Sara! Even for folks who know nothing about Homeland, the article is a fun glimpse into a world I’m guessing most of my readers know little about. Of course, I’m one of Sara’s biggest fans, and not at all unbiased 😉 so when I get to read things like
Auburn-haired with arresting blue eyes, she resembles a grown-up Angela Chase, the complicated teenager Danes played in her breakout show, My So-Called Life. Yet, her beguilingly enigmatic online persona, sara, is outspoken AF.
and
Like Carrie Mathison, sara is whip-smart, witty, singularly focused, and obsessed with the truth.
(and I know the same is true for Sara) … well. It’s pretty cool.
Also, I cannot recommend HY Homeland highly enough if you’re even remotely interested in the show. The podcast is a fun listen, too, but likely only for “fans” (unless you want to hear what I sound like … I made guest appearances in episodes 34 and 43).
I’ve been pleased to see that HY Homeland is still going even though the show ended in April. for sure it’s a tribute to the superfans, the community, and its founder. Shoutout to Sara!
also, I just love this photo … it’s so different from the ones we capture with our cameras and yet…. it’s so totally her!
Happy Monday y’all and here’s to having the best week available that’s just 11 days before Christmas.
(in other news, the painters are gone. the house has been mostly put back together. we are still are hanging pictures. I’m convinced figuring out what to hang … and then actually hanging it is the real test of coupledom. so far we’re passing … more later!)

How fun! I have not watched this show but I am working on lists of things I can binge while I sew and knit this winter. I have bookmarked the site so I can visit and read and get inspired. And hooray for the painters being gone.

Neat article. Glad I got to read it.

Wow! Congratulations to Sara! I know she’s always done HYHomeland for herself, but still, an article in Rolling Stone is a big deal. And you’re quoted, too! Amazing and very cool!
Kat
Wow! Congrats to Sara! (this is absolutely a proud Mama moment!!)
Vera

This is so exciting! I’m pretty sure my brother has a subscription to Rolling Stone, but I’ll have to check. And I will definitely need to check out Sara’s podcast!
Patty
Woot! Woot! Can you see me jumping up and down! What an honor! Congratulations Sara, I’m buying the magazine at lunch today!
Vicki
Oh, wow. That’s so COOL! Woohoo! I love that photo of Sara, too.
Carole
That’s awesome that Sara got recognition for all she did for Homeland! I watched it right up until season 6, we never finished that one and I sort of lost interest. Maybe Hell Yeah Homeland would get me interested enough to jump back in and finish the series.

How exciting! Proud mama, as well you should be!

The BEST! So cool, Mary! Thanks so much for sharing. XO
(And that is a wonderful photo of Sara. I love the kind of shots where the photographer captures the “realness” of the subject like that.)
