Sarala Life — Life in Chapters: Careers, Canines, Cabernet & Courage

A life well-poured: work, wine, and everything in between.

Hi, I’m Sarala — a lawyer, storyteller, and unapologetic lover of good wine, good dogs, and good conversation. After years navigating boardrooms, deals, and governance across the Caribbean, I’ve learned that life — like leadership — is best lived in chapters. Some are bold and ambitious. Some are quiet and healing. And most are best shared over a glass of wine and a wagging tail nearby. This space is where I write about it all — the beautiful, messy balance of careers, canines, and cabernet. From reflections on purpose and courage to lessons from leadership, love, and dog walks, these are the stories that shape who I am — and, maybe, who we’re all becoming. Pull up a chair (or pour a glass) and stay awhile. Here’s to life in chapters — imperfect, authentic, and deeply human.

Welcome — and a Note from Me

I launched this blog as a love letter to new beginnings — to the beauty of becoming, even when it means breaking first.

Here, you’ll find reflections from the in-between spaces of life: career pivots and quiet resets, laughter and loss, canines and cabernet. It’s about the courage to rewrite your story when the old version no longer fits, and to honour every chapter — even the ones that hurt.

My first post, “Resetting at 40: Rejection, Redirection, and the Gift of Beginning Again,” is where this next season begins. It’s raw and real — a reminder that rejection can be redirection, grief can become growth, and that sometimes the bravest thing we can do is start over.

So, pour a glass or make a cuppa, pull up a chair, and settle in.
Here’s to life in chapters — imperfect, heartfelt, and deeply human.

    What a beautifully heartfelt introduction — it radiates courage, authenticity, and renewal. 🌿 Your words remind us that beginnings often bloom from endings, and that vulnerability is the truest form of strength. “Resetting at 40” sounds profoundly inspiring — a celebration of resilience and self-trust. Here’s to rewriting, rediscovering, and rising with grace through every chapter. ❤️🌹🙏
