2020...wow!!!

Hello Everyone,
I haven't posted in quite some time.
This year has been pretty crazy.
I'm sure we all have some interesting stories to tell:)
We celebrated the new year, and looked forward to great things ahead.
Feb. 4th, we left Nashville on a cross country trip.
Visiting friends and relatives, seeing lots of new places.  It was a great adventure.
March hit, and Covid 19 was showing up in a big way.
Long story short, we ended up sheltering in place with family in Eureka, CA for 2 months.
Our 2 month trip turned in to 5 months.
We finally made it home to Nashville on July 3!
Through it all we learned a lot.
Some great things happened.
We made the most of the time we had.
I was so grateful for the opportunity to slow down.
I enjoyed the downtime tremendously.
Time to just be. A moment of peace and quiet.
My hubby and I enjoyed lots of time together:)
Enjoyed my favorite shows.
Talked with family and friends on the phone.
Checked in with people back home in Nashville.
Enjoyed lots of face time and zoom meetings.
Went for walks on the beach. 
Spent time with our daughter and grand daughter.
Enjoyed good food, laughter, and a cozy hot tub.
Played board games, spent time reading my Bible and praying.
Wrote in my journal. 
Did a bunch of live posts on Facebook.
Shared my thoughts, songs from the piano, and just tried to encourage people.
Anyway, all of that to say that I'm truly grateful for the experience.
When we got back to Nashville, I found a job right away.
I also helped our grandson with virtual learning for the first 9 weeks of school.
So thankful that I had the moment of peace when I did.
Our grandson is back to school in the building...he loves it...1st grade!
I have a bit more free time in my day now.
Through all the ups and downs of this year, I am grateful.
My hope is that we won't lose sight of what is really important.
This year has shown us what really matters.
I would LOVE to hear from you.
What have you learned this year?
How have you survived?
What are your thoughts...feelings?
Let's keep in touch.
Let's be there for each other.
Well, great to connect.
I love and appreciate you all so very much!

Enjoy your journey,

Carolyn Rose Wilson

It's been 4 yrs. since my last post...WHAT!!!

Hello All,
Can't believe it's been 4 yrs since my last post.
Guess it's about time, lol:)
How is everyone?
Hope you are all doing well.
Here are my current stats.
I'm 48 yrs. old.
Married 29 yrs.
Have two grand children...our grandson just turned 6, and our grand daughter will be 2 this week:)
So grateful for so many things in my life.
Celebrated 18 yrs. in Nashville in August...so crazy!
We took a big road trip recently.  Drove across the country, and visited so many amazing places!
Such a great time visiting so many friends and family.
My husband is working on new writing projects.
I have some new ideas for a music project...working on the timing etc...excited!
I also am a part time nanny...great job.
Anyway, guess we're caught up for now.
Would LOVE to hear from you as well.
Fall is coming even though our weather is still pretty hot here in Nashville.
Looking forward to a new season:)

Good to be back,

Happy New Year!!!

Hi there,
Can't believe it's 2015!
Guess I'll just jump right in.
My life has been a bit of a roller coaster these days.
I turned 44 this month, and despite the ups and downs of the past number of months,
I'm so thankful for so many things.
I've got an amazing husband of nearly 25 years.
Our oldest daughter just got engaged on New Year's Eve, and she is in Israel for the next few months.
Our youngest daughter is working hard, caring for our adorable grandson, and dealing with her own ups and downs for sure.
The truth is I feel a little overwhelmed.
I'm usually the glass half full kind of person, but lately my glass has felt pretty empty.
Don't really have any answers, just know that my heart is heavy these days.
Most days I'm just trying to juggle a bunch of mixed emotions, and I'm really not that great at juggling.
Anyway, I know we all have our struggles.  Good times and bad.
Through it all, I know that God is with me.
He is my peace in the middle of the storm.
I hope the same for you.
Whatever you are going through.  May you know His peace.
A peace that goes above and beyond our understanding.
Until we meet again.
Blessings and hope for all that is to come.

Long time no blog!!!

Hello All,

It's been wayyy too long since I've posted on here.
Life is good, and we've had lots of changes around our household.
We celebrated 11 years in Nashville in August.  Hard to believe.
Our daughters are doing very well these days.  Our oldest is living in CA,
and is part of an internship program at a church there.  She's really loving it.
Our youngest is married, and working hard, and enjoying life.
My sweet husband of 22 years is working on all kinds of writing projects.
We're looking forward to what's next for us, and so thankful for all the blessings
in our lives.
As for music, I wrote a song with two of my best friends.  It's my first real "cut" on
an album, and I can't wait to hear the finished product.  So excited and thankful.
I'm heading in to the studio to finish a new album.  I've written a number of songs
over the years, but there are quite a few that I've never had the chance to record.
That's what this new album will consist of, and I can't wait to share it with everyone!
Guess that's about it for now. 
Hope you are all doing well, and hope you are enjoying journey.
My prayer is that you find those things that you are most passionate about, and live
each day with value and purpose.
Please comment etc...I love to hear from you!

I've Got to Post Something!!!

Hey All,
Just had to post something. It's been way too long.
Guess I kind of forgot about my blog...ooops:)
I've missed posting my thoughts etc...
Hope everyone is doing well these days.
Well, life is pretty good right now.
My sweet husband is working on his next series of novels.
Our daughters are getting ready to turn 17 and 19.
We'll celebrate 10 years in Nashville this Aug...wow!
So much to be thankful for.
I'm working and singing when I can.
Guess that's the main update for now.
I'm gonna try to post on here a little more often.
Please keep in touch when you can.
I love to hear from all of you:)

Blessings,

What Happened to My Blog?

Hey Everyone,

Just thought I would say hello.
It's been wayyyy too long since I've posted anything.
Hope you are all doing well.
I've been busy just living life, and guess I forgot
to write about it...so sorry.
This is such a fun thing to do, but I have to
remember to actually make time to do it, lol.
Anyway, soon I will be the mother of a 16 and 18 yr old!
I'm very proud of my girls.
My hubby and I will celebrate 20 years of marriage in June.
We're looking forward to a special cruise to Alaska in July!
So much to celebrate.
We're working on new projects, and looking forward to the future.
Please keep in touch when you can.
Let me know what's going on in your lives.

Happy New Year Everyone!

Hello,
Thought I would touch base with everyone.
Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year celebration.
Our family relaxed and enjoyed a very quiet Christmas.
It was really great to wake up on Christmas morning, and just take it slow.
We opened our stockings, had yummy blueberry muffins and coffee...nice.
Next we opened our gifts.
The rest of the day was spent just hanging out together.
We spent some time with our friends later on.
I'm so thankful for all that happened this last year.
Now I'm really looking forward to all that God has planned for 2010!
My hope and prayer for you is to live this year with passion and purpose.
May this year be filled with all kinds of amazing adventures.
Keep in touch when you can.
I always LOVE to hear from you.
Let me know what's going on in your world.

Here's to an outstanding new year!
