Greetings,
My name is Alexandria Sage.
I welcome you. And so I have written this “less about me” page—meaning the short version of me. And if you’re still reading this by now, I thank you from the bottom of my heart and I hope you’ll read on … and get to know “less of me”, which may be all you need to know. But—just in case—there is always more.
Which is why I started this blog. That’s where you’ll get to know a side of me where my endless daily thoughts and photography find a place to call home. So here I am. And again, I welcome you!
I like …
words,
art,
flowers,
dawn, dusk,
history—all of it,
current events,
cultural trends,
peanut butter and jelly,
simplicity,
excellence,
hard, exhausting work.
I have …
a red four-wheeler,
the sweetest canine,
one fierce feline,
a lovely dwelling place,
great health that comes at a high price,
a fulfilling job,
compassion for the lonely and lost,
enough.
I can …
keep a secret,
water ski,
grow flowers,
Grill and cook,
sing.
I struggle with …
the usual insecurities,
failures,
and frailties
inherent in human skin,
a chronic disease,
man’s cruelty to man and beast.
I love …
family, friends,
the smell of children,
the stories of old people,
solitude,
the Holy Scriptures,
God, the Father,
His Son,
And His Holy Spirit.
I am …
a loyal friend,
passionate about nearly everything,
including sleep and play.
Loved deeply by my parents, husband,
children, and siblings.
A truth seeker, truth examiner,
and truth finder.
Intrigued by philosophy,
a dedicated student of the Scriptures
and follower of Jesus Christ.
So, so fortunate. And
Old enough.
Blessed.
I need …
love, mercy,
patience,
kindness,
forgiveness.
I long for …
legacy,
significance.
I want …
to decrease sadness
and increase joy,
to make a difference for
… everyone.
Peace,
Alexandria

/ June 30, 2013This “Less about me” summary is more than most people write on their About page. It gave me a very good idea of what you hold dear and what moves you….
SimplySage

ivyon
/ March 10, 2014By telling “less about you” you actually managed to tell a lot more than the average blogger. 😉 I like your page and this:
“I want …
to decrease sadness
and increase joy,
to make a difference for
… everyone.”
Peace out to you too… May you bring joy in many lives. ❤
SimplySage
/ March 13, 2014Thank you for such a nice compliment. Peace to you as well!

Denise
/ February 16, 2016My husband marked your blog this morning before he left for work for me to peruse. He often leaves dove pictures and articles on the computer for me to read in the morning so, with coffee in hand, I can explore what he has left for me as I wake up to a new day. What a lovely blog, and from your ‘less about me’, it seems are kindred souls in many respects. I truly hope to see you in heaven and have a chat.
Alexandria Sage
/ February 17, 2016Hi Denise,
How nice of you to take the time to write such an encouraging comment! I’m glad my blog blessed you. And yes, we will most definitely meet some time; this or that side of heaven. One never knows! God’s blessings are new every morning and He certainly blessed me with you! Peace, Alexandria
