Consider the things you may have failed to do because you felt ill equipped or unworthy to participate. Choose one of them to begin doing this week. Choose at least one of the following verses to study and memorize: He loves you enough to make you like no other. She is the same. Although, I have not been friends with this particular friend for as many years. It feels like a lifetime. We continue on climbing the valleys and seeing amazing beauty in each other I hope she feels that way J.

Or I sound like an ass J Ha! She is one of the strongest women I know, she says; what she means- and that is, how it is going to be; without question. I have actually seen it almost go down. She has beauty, spunk, fire and is so feisty. She makes me laugh. Our memories are thick, deep, funny, emotional, but she is very dear to my heart.

No matter what, if I called her I know she would be here if she could. She is completely an extrovert!! I am introvert down to my core! We have different ways communicate and solving problems. She has very high expectations for the people in her life.

Being Authentically Me and Fitting In.

I respect her for that. I am lucky to know her. Although we are very different and disagree on a few things here and there-our relationship has been steadfast despite where we are and where we are going. We have had our children around the same time and they have a special bond. I could write a novel on our relationship, everything we have been through.

Recently, we went camping and she showed an amazing amount of strength and courage in a very serious situation. She was strong, collected, and somehow as I helped I felt calmed by her. Later, something happened again and as I was the in the place she was before. I knew exactly what to do because of watching her moments early. I shouted her name and she came running and wrapped her arms around me so tightly…. But I do not like texts because things get complicated, and thing become misinterpreted. I love exploring different environments — places I have never been, farms, fields, cities, and towns.

Even more I love the high old growth trees that get lost in the sky, I love how they creak when the wind blows — the rain that drips from the needles… under these trees I would love a secret a place I only know about. A place that was mine.

Sometimes it takes a new perspective to slap you across the face and wake you up. Everyone has a busy time and every one has a slower time. We are surrounded every week by hundreds of people if you take the time to pay attention to others. Yesterday I was in the grocery store and I notice an older woman in a wheelchair putting back groceries as she added her items up with her coupons. Or was it that I was projecting those feelings of mine onto her.

My observation was she was was struggling. As I continued to fill my cart with things that I needed and things that were not a necessity, I continued up and down the aisles, I passed the woman two more times. As I walked up and down the fourth aisle, I realized there was absolutely nothing in my cart that I or my family had to have in that exact moment. Maybe, the milk, the eggs but I knew none of those things were something that my family needed to survive for the next few days.

Selfishly, I walked to the checkout and started unloading my cart as I stood there waiting for my total, I saw the woman waiting three people behind me in line. Something in my gut told me to do something, it was instinctive. The guilt I was feeling walking around the store slapped me in the face. I decided, there is nothing I can do to change her life but I can at least help her pay for her groceries.

I bought a gift card and asked the employee helping me to please give it to the women waiting in the line. The employee smiled and thanked me. I left the store feeling pretty good, feeling blessed that I am able to provide for my family, and that we all can probably live on a lot less than we do. But I do not like texts because things get complicated,. And nothing comes misinterpreted. Even more I love the high old growth trees that get lost in the sky, I love how they creak when the wind blows — the rain that drips from the needles… under these trees I would love a secret hideaway.

The bottom of those timbers some what primitive.

A ranch-style getaway like the one I grew up in. Being inspired and inspiring others.

I love sister trips and the Martin clan trips. I love watching my boys grow. A new love — watching them play basketball. I love the way laughing with someone makes me feel. I love hot showers. I love rearranging furniture. All kinds of music…different cultures. I would love to take a year and travel with no certainty of where I might end up next. I love laughing, laughing in an intimate situation, sometimes quietly in inappropriate situations because that is the only way I will get through.
