She Is A True Disciple

Rarely do you find a person possessing so many truly remarkable qualities with humility at the top of the list. Her modesty is an inherent part of her being along with her vision and enormous heart. She is selfless and giving without pretense or agenda. Her love for other humans whether familiar or unacquainted is pure and quite honestly Christ-like. She knows and understands the history of Christianity and  she shows her love of her religion through her nonjudgmental,unconditional loving life. Deserving of many accolades but wanting of none, she pursues the truth with a truly enlightened soul and a purity so needed in our world. Our world,is, in fact, so much the better for having her in it. She is an incredibly intelligent woman respectful of the freedom of religion and supportive of individuals' spiritual journeys. She is an erudite scholar with a thirst for new information and perspectives. She wants all people to be treated equally and fairly without prejudice or biases. She is a mentor to many people. Just the other day, an adult told me that she wanted to grow up to be like her.


She loves to travel and experience different cultures through food,history,museums,art,movies,theatre,architecture and conversations. She greets these new places and people with enthusiasm and excitement. She loves sports and cheers for her favorite teams with the same passion that she cheers for the underdog in life. She abhors racism,sexism,homophobia and ageism. Discrimination and hypocrites sadden her.  She cares deeply. She feels intensely. She has integrity. She has the courage of her convictions. She walks the walk without worrying about the incessant talk. She actually practices what others often merely preach. When she needs or wants to talk, she has the knowledge to support her positions calmly with confidence.

She wants to break bread with you. She wants you to have a good time. She wants you to have a great time. And if you are blessed enough to be with her, you will.

Generosity and kindness would be used in descriptions of her. She is conscientious and faithful. Add insightful, forgiving, smart,rational,clever,creative and inventive. She is savvy. She has a depth of feeling that is off the charts. She is well-read. She is loving. She is an ardent believer. She is a person of faith.  She is disciplined. She can be spontaneous. She has a great sense of humor and is fun-loving. She has a loving spirit. She is complex.

Yet when she looks in the mirror, she sees a simple girl from Mitchell, Georgia. Both humble and complex,she is Carolyn. And she is a true disciple.
