A little about me… Christ follower, wife, daughter, volunteer, missionary, employee, southerner, world traveler, music lover, cook, reader, writer, passionate, creative, loud, shy, visionary, idealist, silly, serious, sinfully reckless, wounded, humble, miraculously redeemed, seeking open roads, the silver lining, and the opportunity of a lifetime.
Like the rest of the blogging world, I have dreamed of being a writer since my chubby fingers held a jumbo number 2 and scribbled second grade dreams on gray tablet paper.
My confession… Decades later, I’m still too big of a chicken to do anything about this dream.
That is… until now.
I built this blog to serve as home to my years of journal entries that have sat in a box under my bed, safe from curious eyes and judgments from a world that doesn’t get it. Well World, I decided to give you a chance and see if you actually like any of this. Maybe you will. Maybe we have more in common than I thought. Or, maybe I’ll regret ever logging on to wordpress.com. In any event, I will at least have the satisfaction of trying.
Praise God for the enabling of technology.
So here goes… If you like stories of mystery, love, adventure, self-discovery, travel, harmonies and minor keys, you may very well digg this blog. I can’t promise you any answers, but I can promise you the truth about my living canvas, life as I know it …

UPDATE October 2009 – Just to CMA in case the FTC actually knows my blog exists: I am an official book review blogger for Thomas Nelson publishing. They send me free books. I read the books and write what I think of the books on my blog. Not all books I write about on my blog come free from Thomas Nelson. If they do come from Thomas Nelson you will know because I always link to TN’s web site in my review. All other items that I review or talk about I pay for myself. I am not important enough to get a ton of free stuff. But if I do get something for free I promise to disclose that to you. Thanks for reading. – ALW

Dear AnnieLaurie:
Love your mission!
Nice name, “My Living Canvas”, where’d you get the inspiration for that name? Is it original? Are you near Cali?
Thanks Marci! I thought through several different names before choosing this one. I wanted to create a space that allowed me the freedom to focus on the topics that mean the most to me, but to not limit myself. I love the imagery of a blank canvas, a fresh start, and limitless opportunity: )
Thanks for leaving a comment on my blog today… it’s nice to know that people DO come around from time-to-time. PLUS it’s great to hear from a missionary serving on another continent! Praying for you! Come back and visit again.
Karen
