What I didn’t realize was that little versions of us are still sitting quietly in the backseat somewhere, holding memories we weren’t old enough to understand yet.

PART ONE of EXPOSURE: A Life Slowly Coming Into Focus is live now.

It starts with an ice cream sandwich thrown through a stranger’s car window in late 80s Southern California and somehow turns into a story about hyper-awareness, survival, and the strange things children carry without realizing it.

And honestly?
I think this may be the most important thing I’ve written yet.</image:caption></image:image><image:image><image:loc>https://honestlysandie.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/rib-big-sandie-little-snadie.png</image:loc><image:title>rib big sandie little snadie</image:title></image:image><image:image><image:loc>https://honestlysandie.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/exposure-the-ice-cream-window.png</image:loc><image:title>Exposure - the ice cream window</image:title></image:image><lastmod>2026-05-17T18:47:07+00:00</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq></url><url><loc>https://honestlysandie.com/subscribe/</loc><lastmod>2026-05-16T23:30:41+00:00</lastmod><changefreq>weekly</changefreq><priority>0.6</priority></url><url><loc>https://honestlysandie.com/2026/05/14/eyes-closed/</loc><image:image><image:loc>https://honestlysandie.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/honestly-sandie-threshold-thursday-eyes-closed-may-14.png</image:loc><image:title>honestly sandie threshold thursday eyes closed may 14</image:title></image:image><image:image><image:loc>https://honestlysandie.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/eyes-closed-honestly-sandie-threshold-thursday-.png</image:loc><image:title>eyes closed honestly sandie threshold thursday</image:title></image:image><lastmod>2026-05-14T06:53:43+00:00</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq></url><url><loc>https://honestlysandie.com/2026/05/13/vampire/</loc><image:image><image:loc>https://honestlysandie.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/april-27-2021-honestly-sandie-wildcard-wednesday-2026.png</image:loc><image:title>april 27 2021 honestly sandie wildcard wednesday 2026</image:title><image:caption>You weren’t just helping.
You were building the Kingdom.
You weren’t tired.
You were called.

And if you’re a certain type of woman? Oh, you THRIVE in environments like that at first.
