I'm so glad you've stopped by.   My website is an ongoing work reflecting a life that is ever changing and taking me into new ventures.  I am finding myself these days in new landscapes for creative expressions of art, writing and ministry.   My local community is more of my daily life than before, thanks to my new greeting card business, Colors by Carrie.   And my book is finding itself on the round table of discussions among producers who are interested in this project for possible film or television consideration.   Mentoring and counseling have been a way of life for me since grammar school- listening and processing with others is one of my favorite past times.   So if you're looking for a place to relax and just feel refreshed by colors and thoughts, you've come to the right spot.  For a lighter side, be sure and visit the link page to Kevin's blog.   My husband Jeff has taken some liberties and posted some pretty funny stories.  
  If I could, I'd serve you a plate of hot pasta and a loaf of warm sourdough bread.   Instead, perhaps a tour through  my paintings and greeting cards will help you discover the color and Italian romance within your own heart.   
I'm working on my second book and hope to have it published by the end of this year.   Until we meet again....Ciao!
