Starting somewhere

    I miss writing. I miss the way it sooths my soul, the way it empowers me to look at the details of my life in a positive light. There has been so much going on in my life lately that writing basically got buried in a corner forgotten.
     Some of it might be due to the fact that havent felt very positively about my life lately. But I miss the feeling of being in-love with life, I miss feeling alive. Somewhere inside of myself I know that if I want to feel those things again I need to find the courage to pull out the things I love and dust them off. At first it might not be very pretty, like a painter that is out of practice there are bound to be some duds before there are masterpieces.
    Here I am making it full circle with a goal that is the very reason I started this blog, I want to start writing everyday. Writing things that I hope can help and inspire others and maybe in the writings of my soul I will be able to refind myself.
    Its interesting where life takes you and how you find yourself in places you never dreamed of being. Somewhere in the losses and confusion of life we have to find beauty in it even when we can't find joy. I used to do this with ease, now it feels daunting. I have to start somewhere though. So heres to a new year, new experiances and new insight.
    Lets see where it takes us.

    I love this Carrie! I have been feeling this way about writing myself lately! I love reading everything you write! You have a gift for it! I know its hard to find time to write, I have been having a hard time with that too, but I hope in all the craziness you do find the time because I love reading it!

Confessions of A Virgin

    "These are the times that try men's souls. Tyranny like hell is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain to cheap, we esteem to lightly: it is dearness only that gives everything its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price on it's goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated."     -Thomas Paine, The American Crisis, 1776     Years ago a series of events played out in my life, not all pleasant; but required, I am convinced in the making of the person I am today.     About two and a half years ago, I was hanging out with some of my girl friends after a broadcast fireside one night. They were talking about men, as woman usually do, and their physical interactions with men; probably not with the respect that should be remembered in conversations with others. I was the innocent one in the ...

Patience for tomorrow

I had something I wanted to write about for tonight's blog, I had something that I had been contemplating for a while and had finally formulated a way to talk about. However it would end up being a long blog, which I have no problem with, except that I don't feel very well. My thoughts are having a hard time being complete. My brain hurts and I feel like i have been emotionally running in circles, just a tad. And I decided not everything has to be done now, yes sometimes there are some very meaningful things that you would like to see happen that just can't right now. And this is one of those times, it doesn't mean that the future can't bring those things you want to see, it just means that you sometimes have to be okay with waiting for it. I will write about the things I feel the most about. but I am not going to throw something together just cause I need something to post. I have started to learn that you can't throw the most important things to you out there...

im not running

The last few weeks have gone by so fast that time feels like cool water running through my fingers, there's no way to stop it you simply have to enjoy the feeling and the sensation while it's there. I have sent my baby brother on his mission since I was on here last, I have decided to move and a host of other choices great and small have come to heart with in the last while. The main one though is the moving thing, I just recently got the feeling that I'd done what I came here to do and that it's time to move on. So i'm moving, I've been in my current ward for two years, two beautiful, hard, sometimes ugly, very miraculous years. I'm not the same person I was when I first moved in this ward, and it's a good thing, I think. Actually I'm pretty excited too I feel I have done so much these last two years and have learned so much and this ward is all I have known since I moved to salt lake, so I am taking a leap. It's exhilarating really!!! I feel ...
