About me - Stephanie Sadler

Growing up in New York with an English father and American mother, I was always curious about living abroad. After work experience at Fleet Street Publications and classes in London a few years earlier, I had fallen in love with the city. In 2007, I moved

Society & Lifestyle > Lifestyles Should people have sex before marriage?

To be honest, this topic shouldn't even really be up for debate because it isn't a debate. No one has the right to say a couple "should" or "shouldn't" have sex before marriage. You can say it's against your values or against your religion, but that doesn't make it wrong for everyone. I joined the "yes" side only because I'm...

Society & Lifestyle > Cultural Relations Cultural hatred: Humans can change their thought process

Writer Anais Nin once said: "We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are." If this is applied to cultures, to the possibility of accepting all cultures, it means casting aside the lens that distorts our understanding and allows us only to view others in relation to our own lifestyles. Every culture is different. D...

Arts & Humanities > Thoughts on Writing Journaling to relieve stress

For some, the steady tap of keys or the swooping curves of a pen floating over a page slows a heartbeat. For others, writing relieves stress by a form of therapy, a freedom to tip your thoughts onto a blank page and analyse or understand them, to empty your mind and allow yourself a glimpse of clarity. Almost everyone has st...

Creative Writing > Memoirs Memoirs: Remembering my grandpa

My aunt draped her arm across my shoulder and wiped my tears with her thumb. "You know," she said to me, "tears are the greatest expression of love you could show for him. It's okay to cry." Standing in the hospital hallway less than a minute after my grandpa took his last rasping breath from his white bed, I knew he had wai...

Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Living in London

Glistening wet pavements smell of fresh rain. Overflowing gutters clogged with Autumn leaves spill the night's collection of water onto the rooftop below the window. At any given moment, when the first drop falls from the grey clouds, a million patterned umbrellas emerge from coat pockets and hand bags to form a shelter over...

Travel > Europe Travel Diaries Travel experiences: Walking around London

Regent Street pavement was clogged with the usual onslaught of weekend tourists and late night shoppers. I was walking quickly back from Borders toward the tube, head down, weaving between couples and groups and bags and beggars. Then I overheard a woman say, "This city is unreal, it's beautiful" and she trailed off there. I...

Society & Lifestyle > Society & Lifestyle (Other) The perfect world

Impossibly in reality; embraced by imagination. It is impossible partly because the idea of a "perfect world" in itself is entirely subjective. My perfect world, more likely than not, varies in one aspect or another from yours. There are eight main ingredients I would mix together to create a "perfect world" that would serve...

Education > Learning Styles & Skills Raising globally savvy children

The importance of raising culturally-aware children is growing exponentially in conjunction with world affairs. Unfortunately, too many people grow up not being able to point out places like England or France on a map, let alone the more remote Iran, Iraq or North Korea. Here's a quick example. A world map hung proudly on th...

Society & Lifestyle > North American Culture The American way of life explained to the rest of the world

Moving to another country put my American life into perspective. Suddenly, the world was bigger than I could ever have imagined and America seemed more physically isolated and insignificant in comparison to all that was out there to explore. America has a lot to offer in terms of art, entertainment, scientific contributions ...

Celebrations & Holidays > Gift Advice Looking for unusual gifts for Christmas 2007?

Christmas chains are shrinking, advent calendar flaps are opening and the weeks are winding down toward the big day. With cookies to bake and cards to write, who has time to think of unusual presents? Instead of scouring the crowded, stressful malls with the same-old same-old retailers, why not re-think your strategy and tac...
