A Note, From Sara

Welcome to my blog, In the Glow: part journal, part resource, and all heart.

When I want to understand something deeply, especially in the world of beeswax and candle making, I tell myself: learn this well enough to teach it. These posts are just that. My notes, research, reflections, and a bit of the joy I find in geeking out on honey bees and the beautiful process that turns their wax into a slow-burning, mindful light.

I’m so glad you’re here. I hope you enjoy reading as much as I’ve enjoyed writing.
