Dove Icecream...m.m.m.

As I type, I eat.
Dove ice cream.
Not just any Dove ice cream.
Caramel Pecan Perfection.
Perfection for my tongue and eating away my sorrows.
Not so much perfection on that 6-pack I am currently working on. HA!

A Whole New World...not exactly...

Think about it.
We're a little luckier than we think.
Aren't we?
This post wasn't meant to be depressing or a "boo hoo" for the World.
This post is just a wakeup call.
This is life.
I've experienced two people in the past 3 weeks threaten suicide, and one committed.
It happens every day. Thousands of people in the world. Every day. Suicide.
It's life.
Open your eyes and take a look.

God Bless :)

full throttle!

Ok, Keelyn (talks in 3rd person), let's try this blogging thing full stream ahead! WOO!

I am going to New York City over Spring Break to work with Youth Service Opportunities Project mission organization. Myself and many other collegiate students will work with soup kitchens, the homeless, and in the nitty-gritty that is the inner-city hood. Yes, I said hood. lol

But, really, I am sooooo excited! The great part is, that this is not a Christian organization, this is simply a mission's trip and the group I'm going with are of Christians and I truly hope we can show Christ to these people who don't know of Him. YAY!

Also, I'll be catching up with some old friends and I really really REALLY hope God leads me to witness to them and just be vulnerable and open with them.

ANYWAYS.

So, every day, basically, I'm going to try to make a journal entry of my sociological view of the day. My Intro to Sociology teacher wants us to be more like sociologists and write down everything that interests our brains. It's pretty sweet and I'm interested to see what I spew out in this little online blog. I'm also going to post a new picture of the day. Sound like fun? We'll see...

Here it goes! God bless! hehe
