on-trend

Everywhere I saw Americans, I saw at least one American woman clutching the book Eat, Pray, Love. Catherine brought a copy that a friend had pressed on her and we both dutifully read it. (I tried not to let anyone see me.)

Neither of us were knocked out by the book although Catherine said she wouldn’t mind having a cup of coffee with Elizabeth Gilbert. Not me. I found her irritating. A good writer and thinker, but really annoying. As Rolf Potts says in this right-on, right-on rebuttal to the book on Worldhum: You’ve come to admire this woman—and you wish the best for her—but you wish she’d stop yapping about emotional minutiae so you could both look out and enjoy the scenery from time to time.)

Hello and welcome to my website and blog.

My name is Sophia Dembling (Sophia with a long i) but you can call me Sophie if you want. I'm an award-winning writer in Dallas, Texas. That's right. Award-winning.

I write about lots of stuff, primarily travel, psychology and health because those are topics I like best. My main blog these days is Flyover America and you should check it out. It's all about seeing our Glorious 50 and I write it with Jenna Schnuer and Matt Villano.

On other pages of this site, you'll find stories, columns, photos and more. I'm not the blogger here I once was--the days of daily ruminations are past. But I will turn up now and then with a pithy thought. And rummage around the back catalog. Great stuff there.

Just remember: Everything on this site is protected by copyright. If you see something you like, send me an email. Everything is for sale.
