Starting New

I've never done a blog before so this is all new to me. So, I guess I'll start by saying why I picked one Golden Eagle as my blog spot name. First off, ever since I can remember the Golden Eagle has been my favorite bird. Birds of prey of all kinds fascinate me, but the Golden Eagle is such a breathtaking creature and in my mind soars above all others and should be our National Bird, but I guess that isn't my decision.
As a 12+ year Girl Scout leader I know a lot of Girl Scout history and trivia. The Golden Eaglet was at one point the highest award a girl could earn. Now it's just known as the Gold Award. At a recent visit to the Tracy Aviary in Salt Lake City, my girls learned all about birds and I was thrilled to see a Golden Eagle there.
I've recently had new found freedom in my life including courage to sing and and bringing my faith back into my life. I give part of that credit to the testimony and faith of two amazing young men and talented singers, namely David Archuleta and David Osmond. To me the very thought of this is golden, and precious to me. I have met both of these young men on several occasions and have been given the opportunity to tell them both what they mean to me in my life and to thank them for their testimonies.
