a woman holding a red pen -- as if she were going to edit something or issue her grade -- grins somewhat mischievously. No fear, it's just Sara Dagen, the author of All Things Work Together.

Welcome to All Things Work Together, where I tell life stories with a purpose. Often faith-based, usually humor-laced, always worth a read. Or that's my goal, anyway. Thanks for joining me!

Author: Sara

I have a desire to write something that will change the world. This blog is one little step out of my currently overfilled life of working, parenting, being a wife, housekeeper, laundress, hostess, cheerleader, beader, reader, and leader... When I write, I feel a bit more sane, even if said writing exposes my insanity. Go figure.
