About Sarah Gignac

Along with wanting to wear a funny white hat as a chef and play with squirrels as a park ranger, Sarah has wanted to be a writer since she was a little girl. She has published many arts and travel articles, and contributed to two issues of The Blend, a self published comic book distributed in a smattering of shops throughout Canada. In June 2009, Sarah began her blog Raggedy Threads, to chronicle her move from the corporate world into a lazy life of travel and self discovery. She is really looking forward to contributing to Life As A Human!
