I love Karen Carpenter. Basically, I believe that she was blessed with the most angelic and perfect voice that has ever graced this earth. Each of her songs were laced with the sorrow and pain that she felt from the pressures of her personal life, career and self-acceptance. Unfortunately, her life was cut short due to her battle with bulimia. I am grateful for the beautiful gift that she left with us and hope that she is finally at peace and happy with the person that she is.

Recipe for life
What a beautiful world we live in!
Today the sun is shining and the grass is almost green! woot!
The sky on my left is periwinkle blue and on my right there are beautiful clouds, reminders of heaven.
You know, this year I have been really good at being sad. Choosing to let trials get me down.
How lame is that? God didn't send us down to earth to be sad.
"Adam fell that men might be, and men are that they might have joy."
Today, I am choosing joy :)
I went to a beautiful funeral on saturday for the sweetest woman named Anne (with an e.)
I felt like she lived her life with the motto of "You are as happy as you want to be."
That is my new motto.
