Sweetly Broken, Awesomely Flawed
I am a walking oxymoron.
A farm girl from New York.
A retired U.S. Navy Sailor never stationed on a ship.
A career woman whose debt basically equated to a negative income.
One day I was presented with a seemingly impossible solution
that changed my trajectory and put me on a path toward a life that is properly ridiculous.
I embraced a life of magical realism.
I go forward in such a manner that even a stumble results in an upward fall.
I have been through most of life's major stressors and have come out this side of forty with more passion and purpose than ever.
I am sweetly broken and awesomely flawed.
Stick around, I would love to share my whole journey with you; past, present and future. If you do, it is my prayer that you will I will gain a little something along the way, too.
Love and Smiles, Carrie Kendon
