I was sitting in the City of London Boiler Room on Monday when I over heard a most disturbing thing... Phil Togwell was speaking to Andrea (lovely new UK prayer support lady) when he said... "If you wade through all the film, book and TV reviews on Carla's blog, sometimes you actually get to find out about her..." I was most perplexed. I don't think he gets it at all...
Yes I do admit that I write alot about stories, they inspire me, teach me, re-energise me. And quite right, I may not right "Today I am feeling like..." all that often but if you read between the lines, look at the subjects, tone of writing, frequency of posts, my little celebrations of stories will tell you an awful lot about how I am at any given time.
This week I've had a lot of worried enquiries about my "Angry face" and "But Club" posts. It's lovely to know that people are concerned when they hear I'm angry or that I don't think someone likes me, but it is a funny old world this blogging.
I've mentioned before that Stephen has called me a life editor and he's write. I don't write everything here, sometimes I don't even write everything in my journal. My Blog is very mmuch the part of my life and experiences that I feel are appropriate to share. A snippet rather than a faithful record of my loves, fears and adventures.
Yes last weekend was interesting, yes something made me very angry but don't worry I've resolved it, and yes someone doesn't like me very much but I've gone as far as I can right now to try and change that. I won't write about these things because I don't think it's right to, I may mention my mood or something but I want my blog to be a safe place, a place where the only person exposed is me.
Right now I'm actually the happiest I've ever been. That's quite a big statement but I know that it's true. I am very happy, and I am very greatful. I'm part of something I believe in, my nine-to-five has meaning, I have a warm home, steadfast friends and a great man to share my life with. I know I am priviledged.
This summer is a bit of an inbetween time. I'm preparing for 24-7s Round Table and International Leaders Gathering and Transit. Some things have gone, others are yet to begin. Tonight I fly to Kos in Greece with my Mum, Dad, Sister and Brother for two much anticiptated weeks of sea, sand, great food and good books. I'll post a few times while I'm there but please forgive me if I'm a little quiet.
I'm bringing "The Horse and his Boy", "The Drawing of the Three", "The Stand" and "Cloud Atlas" with me so expect more posts about stories when I return. I love you all, Carla x
