On a mission.

I am going to get out another "to do" on my mind's log today. My great aunt who is a missionary in Barranquilla, Columbia had contacted me today. I hear from her every once in awhile.
Her mother had given me a lovely letter years ago that she had written about her life. She has passed now but this letter inspired me at one point to collect a few more of these type of writings from women in my family. One of these woman was her daughter in law, my grandmother. The next, my mom. Today I thought that I would ask my auntie Ruby as well. While in the shower I thought to myself...maybe I can ask my auntie Sandy, who is my mothers sister. Then, my paternal grandmother. I am on a mission to contact each of these and ask for their stories. I want to compile for myself from each of these people who have influenced my life greatly. Oh, and I can ask my cousin Ashley who was one of my best friends when I was younger.
Anyways, my mind is whirling with thoughts now. I have also had stories of my own that I want to blog about from my childhood....and then there is that timeline that I am still pondering....
My name is not Serene by the way. It is Tara. Serene is my middle name. It means quiet. It was a way of being more hidden when I started this anonymous blog, which is not so anymore.
Tara means strong tower. Sometimes is can mean rocky hill. Either way, I am all of these....
