One World, Many Voices

Personal essays on memory and everyday wonder

A rich anthology of poetry, short stories, personal essays, and art inspired by the author's travels, life experiences, and vivid imagination. Interwoven throughout are themes of wonder, resilience, and connection, whether through the changing seasons, the bonds of family, or the shared human experiences that unite us across cultures. The collection moves fluidly between tender reflections on love, family, and cherished memories and thought-provoking musings on technology, nature, and the passage of time.

About the author

Making a story of the life I’ve lived.

Sabine writes from her own life, gathering the moments that are easy to overlook: family rituals, difficult crossings, unexpected turns, and the places that continue to feel like home.

Her work is candid, warm, and deeply personal—an invitation to recognize pieces of our own lives in someone else’s story.

Sabine is a first-generation American, born to European parents. She grew up surrounded by art, museums, and experiences in a multicultural world. She spent her childhood and youth growing up in Austria, and when she was not there, she lived in California. After graduation, she joined the US Navy. Later, her dream of becoming a teacher became a reality, and she taught English and Art. She also volunteered as a certified volunteer firefighter and as a den leader and cubmaster of the local Cub Scout unit.

With artistic parents, it was natural for her to also develop her own God-given talents. Sabine finds it hard to simply focus on one type of artistic form and always enjoys learning something new and experimenting. She loves the written word and all the possibilities that it can produce. She also draws and paints, crochets, knits, and does a variety of needlework. She enjoys doing a variety of arts and crafts, and she also sews. She dabbles in photography, ceramics, and recently did a few diamond painting pieces, including an original piece from one of her photographs.

Sabine has been married to her husband for 35 years, and they share their home with four dogs and three cats. Their family includes seven daughters (one is deceased), one son, 24 grandchildren, and 20 great-grandchildren.

From the writing desk

A quiet note in your inbox.

I thought I would give you a little bit of a background about how I became a writer. From the time I was a little girl, I have loved books. My mom would read to me every night, and once I could read on my own, I loved all the adventures and worlds I could explore and have adventures in. Reading then turned to writing my own adventures. I loved my English/writing classes throughout school. I started writing poetry and short stories even in grade school. Being an only child and not having that many real friends I could do things with, I lived in my imagination where I could do and be anything I dreamed of, and go anywhere I wanted to go. My dolls and toys were my friends along the way,
