In this episode of This Creative Life, I’m thrilled to bring you a conversation with Jeffrey Overstreet and Anne Doe Overstreet, who are a talented and inspiring pair. I’ve known them for years and have always deeply admired the life they’ve built for themselves, in which creativity is integrated into all aspects and is perhaps, along with their shared faith (and maybe the cats), the driving force of their marriage. I loved hearing more specifically how they take care of each other and how their very different temperaments add up to a whole that is far greater than the sum of its parts. They are truly a couple who sees the world from the perspective of “we”, in a way that still honors their individual selves and goals.
We talked about day jobs, burnout, how they survived several years of Threat Level Orange, and their plans for 2013. Thanks for listening, enjoy, and tell a friend!

By special arrangement with my local independent book store, The King’s English, you can always find signed copies of my novels there.
If you’re not local, you can order signed copies from them and have them shipped and, if you like, gift wrapped. Also, if you’d like me to personalize a signed copy, we can make that happen.
And, of course, anywhere books are sold.
Great episode, Sara! I really enjoyed hearing from people I kinda know! From now on I’m going to write music standing up.
