You're An Anchor-Madison Haley

A tribute to my cousin Tess Barker who leaves on her mission to New York this week. I love her very much and look up to her example! Thank you Tess! See you in 1.5:)


You’re An Anchor
Stormy seas surround us
Strong wind blows in the canyon
Fire burns the forests
But you will not be moved
You’ve been through times that were gray
There was nothing no one could say
But times are new
Just look at you

You’re an anchor in the stormy seas
A shelter from the wind
A brick wall that cannot be burned
How times have turned
We need your wisdom more than ever now
Cause you have pulled us through
There’s no disaster that can take us out
While we look up to you
You’re an anchor

Doors are shut around you
Some may always say no
Though we will miss you
This is why you have to go

You’re an anchor in the stormy seas
A shelter from the wind
A brick wall that cannot be burned
How times have turned
They need your wisdom more than ever now
Cause you will pull them through
There’s no disaster that can take them out
While they look up to you
You’re an anchor

Now the one above may seem to look down on you
But now He’s lookin up
You are brave and wise and He needs ya now
To pull those lost through

Cause you’re an anchor in the stormy seas
A shelter from the wind
A brick wall that cannot be burned
How times have turned
He needs your wisdom more than ever now
Cause you will pull them through
There’s no disaster that will take you out
While He looks up to you
You’re an anchor
You’re an anchor

Lessons Learned in 2014

I’ve learned so many things over this past year that I can’t help but share them. I’ve decided to share what I learned in each month as the year progressed. These lessons include stories, insights, and advice that I was given to get through the good times as well as the hard times. Whether you know me well or not, I hope you can relate to any one thing, or at least know that you aren’t alone. I believe we should share our experiences with others who may be struggling with similar things so that we might be able to help each other through our hardships. Here we go. January- Just because it’s a new year, that doesn’t mean you start with an empty slate. If you don’t keep up with your good habits, the bad ones seep through and they don’t fix themselves. YOU must do the fixing. The lesson here that I learned was that just because the New Year brought new motivation, that didn’t mean I would miraculously become someone better. Not without continuous hard work on my part, anywa

Distinguished Young Women

For eight weeks I learned how to perfect myself in multiple areas of my life, some of which being: Fitness, interview skills, presenting myself, on-the-spot answering questions, how to walk in heels (both on flat ground and up and down stairs), how to speak properly, appearance, what not to wear, making friends, how to be a pirate, and many more. As you can tell I had such a good time with the nineteen other girls involved in the Distinguished Young Women (DYW) scholarship program. Although I did not walk away with any cash for college, I did walk away with a new attitude about myself and also with the knowledge that I could conquer hard things. I will never forget the experiences I had there and will cherish the friendships I made forever. During the showcase night we preformed a pirate opening number where we each introduced ourselves to the audience and judges. (Earlier that same day we had each had a ten minute interview with the judges). Following the pirate act we pre
