Welcome and thank you for joining me.  Life is a journey, and this blog is a small portion of my story.  My story, however, does not define me; it’s transforming me into the woman which I have desired to become – a strong wife, mother, friend and follower of Jesus Christ.  The writings within this blog will not be ‘easy’ to read.  Some may be graphic in nature, detailing the pains which have caused the hills and valleys throughout my journey.  Whether you read or not, I want and need you to know that I am here for you.  I’m always here for you, and you can reach out to me at any time – Carrie@MyFirstBreath.com – you are not alone, you are NEVER alone!

I hope you will follow me through this blog, as I learn how to love myself.  Since May of 2012, I’ve learned more than I could ever imagine, and I’ve grown in ways I never realized possible.  The pain and scars of what happened to me will never go away, but I hope to use this channel to help myself, and hopefully motivate and inspire others to start living – life can be wonderful for you, just let the wounds open and we’ll work through the healing together.  Stay on this journey with me!
