About Me


RICORDO!
The love of my life, partner and best friend, Carter Albrecht, was tragically shot and killed by my neighbor, last labor day '07. Trauma, Shock, and grief forced me to find out why I had to live, why I should live, what life is, and what love is....life, love, laughter, loss, learning...
I sold everything and am now on the road... waiting for God, the Universe, Angels and Carter to guide me, to really live life and make the most impact, so I can honor him.
He's left me the gift of art... I'm now an artist, and I have a web site: www.ryannrathbone.com
And I blog about my travels on my blog: Ryannontheroad.blogspot.com
I have the most wonderful family, friends and loved ones in my life... and I'm so thankful for all of them.
“I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge - myth is more potent than history - dreams are more powerful than facts - hope always triumphs over experience - laughter is the cure for grief - love is stronger than death”
Robert Fulghum
A protester, who has had to learn the hard lesson of humility... still seeking to find (what? I don't know)... Practicing life daily, without wasting it on worrying about the future.... today is not yesterday, or tomorrow....I want to activate my love for Carter everyday, and keep his memory alive not just in me, but also in others...i'm also an artist, a writer, a friend, a daughter, a sister, dog momma, a blogger, and WAY stronger than I'd ever have thought....
His solo album, Jesus is Alive... and Living in London, is close to being finished. Until then, you can hear his band Sparrows at:
CLICK THIS LINK:
the Sparrows -Carter Albrecht page
I want everyone to hear his music... so please add them and pass it on
I'll keep listening, please keep letting me know I'm on the right track.
