Healthbolt Update: Sara Ost’s Last Post at the ‘Bolt

by User ImageSara on December 9th, 2007

I’ve been dragging my feet on this. Here it is, nearly 9 p.m. on a Sunday night. But all shenanigans must come to an end, if only to pave the way for actual trouble. I have loved - loved - my time at Healthbolt. We had broken hearts together, we decided buffalo wings were healthy together, we decided the health experts are annoying together. We learned about blue people and tree people and eyeball tattoos and Frankensperm. We found out that snake oil is the only snake oil that works, Red Bull can kill you if you drink enough of it, and cocaine comes in flavors (whew).

But since I’m not technically a health nut and I really love talking with you guys most about philosophy, oddities, relationships, humor and life, that’s what I’m going to talk about. You can find out about my new projects for 2008 at a little site called SaraOst.com. I’m not going to say I’ll miss you all, because I know we’ll catch each other on the internets soon. ;)

Now, what about the ‘bolt? No worries. B5 has hired two awesome, smart, experienced bloggers, Liz and Liberty, to bring you daily health delights. Liz is an American-turned-Kiwi, reformed military brat who loves trotting the globe, a writer, an RN (An expert around here! Finally!), and she spent a year living with princes and princesses in Saudi Arabia (she doesn’t recommend it). Liberty is a freelance writer, and, well…from Liberty:

Like my Healthbolt predecessor, I too am left-handed, proving without doubt that
lefties are terribly brilliant. I’m a magazine junkie to the point that I am currently looking into entire display units to house my subscriptions. I can go from goofy to serious with a shift of the wind. It’s a gift. I’ve written a novel that will likely never see the the inside of a Borders. But it’s a damn cool accomplishment. I have former lives in the pharmaceutical, jewelry, shopping center and automotive industries. My hamster just died and telling my kids was heartbreaking. For me. I’m pretty sure that if there was some way to make out with my Mac, I probably would. I love it THAT much.

Have fun, gang! And keep in touch.

    Thanks for the awesome intro, Sara. Goodbyes are never easy, but they often open many doors. Can’t wait to see what’s behind your door.

    In the meantime, Liz and I are ready to rock this site out. Looking forward to getting to know everyone and bringing you the best of this wild and wacky world of health! :)

    Cheers,
    Liberty

    Oh dear!

    While I’m sure Liz & Liberty will be awesome as well, it’s so sad to see you go! Healthbolt got so lively and entertaining when you took over; I’m really going to miss your original spin on everything.

    It’s hard to find sharp analysis and irreverent humor, and well, “soul” in health reporting. I’m sure you’ll bring your unique style to whatever you do next, so I can’t wait to find out what it is!

    Best of luck.

    Oh wow :( You’ll be missed. I’ve been reading HB for quite awhile, and I have really enjoyed your posts and musings over the last 5 months … thank you.

    Can’t wait to see what your new stuff will be … Good luck. :)

    Hey Berci, Crabby, and Brian, good to meet you and it’s nice to know that you guys enjoyed Sara’s take on the world of Health so much. As Crabby said ‘it’s hard to find sharp analysis and irreverent humor’ in health reporting these days…

    But we’ll do our best…so stick around and talk.

    We’ll be here, come rain or shine.

    Sara, I’ve watched you from the beginning of your blogging and you have accomplished SO SO much! You’re not only a best friend to me but an inspiration as well. I know your next venture will be just as awesome as healthbolt. I love you.
