It seems only right to introduce yourself to new friends. On that note:
Hi there! I’m Sara Hanks, and I’m here to blog.
I’m newly married …

… and, also, newly graduated from college.

I have an affinity for oversized sunglasses and the outdoors …

… and cheesy smiles, apparently.
I came to the Shelf Reliance team a few weeks ago, bright-eyed and ready for anything! Since then, my eyes have become even brighter and wider as I’ve learned how much there is to discover in this world of food storage, emergency preparedness, and self-reliance.
I want this blog to be a source of solid information and great ideas that will make your life a little easier. I want to include things that will make you laugh, make you improve, or make you feel pleased with all you’ve accomplished. And I’ll let you in on a little secret: I want to learn stuff, too! There’s a lot to soak in, and I’m ready to start. I sincerely hope that you’ll join me, wherever you’re at in the process.
We’ve got giveaways, guest posts, and Q&A sessions in the works, so there should be something for everyone. And, hey, if you’ve got something to add or suggest, leave a comment! I’ll do whatever it takes to turn this blog into something that’s helpful, fun, and undebatably awesome. Your input will be much appreciated.
Anyhoo, it’s a pleasure to meet you, and I look forward to seeing you again.
