Finding Balance

Each and every day is a new adventure. One full of the unknown, and the unpredictable. It can be so easy to lose balance. To find yourself floundering. We need to be able to regain this balance. To find the place in our lives where everything feels right. In my eyes, the first step in achieving this balance in life is to first find it in ourselves. I know as much as the next person how wonderful it is to sleep in. However, I think it is so important to give yourself time every morning (whether it's 5 min or 20 min) to just sit in quiet and peace, and reflect on who you are. Your feelings, your moods, your spirit. Reflect, ponder, and recognize who you are and accept it. Don't make judgments, don't make decisions. Just accept, and love.

Revamp

It's been a long time since I've written. Mostly it's because every time I get on I feel like I have nothing to say of importance. Mulling over the mundane events of my daily life hold no interest for me. So I've decided to try something new. My mind and heart are filled with thought and experiences that I long to share with people. I want to remake this blog so it's no longer me talking about me, but rather a place where I can pour out my heart and offer what little inspiration I can. President Gordon B. Hinckley once said, "You are good. But it is not enough just to be good. You must be good for something. You must contribute good to the world. The world must be a better place for your presence. And the good that is in you must be spread to others.” Well I intend to do my best to make a difference and share what I've been given with whoever cares to partake of it. I hope that in some small way I can show my love to each of you.
From my heart to yours,

Heather Jo England Garrison

I went to a memorial service for Heather today. She passed away from cancer that she has been battling for five years. Never in all my life have I been to a more beautiful service. It was a testimony to the beautiful kind and loving person that Heather was. A room lit up when she walked into it. Anyone who knew her couldn't help but love her. The memorial service was at the Hale Center Theatre a place she was often seen along with her husband Bradford. They were both amazing performers. Close friends sung songs picked by Heather herself. She was truly an example to all of us. She gave everything and expected nothing back, and loved everyone she met unconditionally. If you didn't know already you would never guess she was sick. She was strong and beautiful. I love you heather, you will live on in the hearts of many people.

Ballroom!!

So I finally received an email from the USU ballroom team and i am so excited to annouce that I made it!! I will actually be performing on an official ballroom team and i couldn't possibly be any happier. I had to rearrange some of my classes for practices but it is totally worth it I must say ha ha.

Boys...ugh....

So this is definately a topic on my mind lately. I think it's about time someone figured out the answer to the age old question...... Why are all the awesome, funny, cool, extremely attractive guys always taken? I must have the worst timing lol. Oh well such is life ;) ha ha

Wrapping Up Another Year

Wow! I can hardly believe that another year of school has almost finished. Finals are but a few weeks away and then i will officially be a sophomore. My first year of college has been crazy!! I've loved every minute of it though. It's so nice to be out on my own for a change ha ha. I've discovered that i truly do love taking care of myself and I'm pretty good at it too lol. I've made so many new friends and I've really found myself these last few months. Now the only question is what am I gonna do with my summer?!

Snowboarding!!!

So I'm taking a snowboarding class through my college. I love it. and i'm actually really good at it. Unfortunately i fear my left arm may never be the same ha ha. I have a tendency to fall onto it lol so it hurts most every day. Today we learned about dynamic turning which is going from one edge to the other without going flat. It's more dificult but I feel that I will get it soon ha ha.
