My sipster.

Carra came through Greensboro last night on her way to Florida for the summer. She's set to intern for the non-profit organization, To Write Love On Her Arms, or TWLOHA.

The group's mission statement says "To Write Love on Her Arms is a non-profit movement dedicated to presenting hope and finding help for people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury and suicide. TWLOHA exists to encourage, inform, inspire and also to invest directly into treatment and recovery."

Now, I've always been a proud brother, but as she continues to find herself in the world, it amazes me to see the constant good she does for others. I've had my share of struggles in the past, and battles with things I'm still fighting today, and she's always been there to help me out or listen when I needed her. Even though I'm the big brother, I look up to her in a lot of ways. It's pretty cool knowing that she's taking this goodness and will to help into a bigger picture. She's helped me and helped others, and I KNOW she's gonna change lives this summer.

Here's a video of her about the chapter she started at VCU, as well as an explanation of what they do through TWLOHA:


Watching this and knowing Carra, I am super-excited for what she and the group will accomplish this summer. It's a great opportunity, and I'm happy for all of the lives that will be changed for the better from their work. Might even save a few...

Gonna miss her, but I'm proud!
