Cheers to Friends

you NEVER know when a friendship will come to fruition or you'll appreciate an old friend.  i had worked with a co-worker for a few years, and even though we had a great energy together, we werent "friends."  she got pregnant, worked in our office for awhile, had her baby, came back, and ended up leaving for a different opportunity.  that was around the time that i was looking into moving my family, for better opportunities, myself.  i talked, at great length, with my family and we decided to accepted the CO opportunity, for the benefit of us all.  maybe even get a house that isnt 100 million dollars like with coastal living.  dreams...  you have to fight for them.

before she left my company, she told me that she looked up to me for having the courage to make the significant changes that i did and it inspired her to look elsewhere for work.  she landed a lower-stress job with better hours.  i was moved that she had looked to me to make such a decision.  i do things to better my life and dont really think outside of that, so you dont really "judge" your own decisions, from the outside.  i guess looking at how i operate, as an adult, i'm pretty courageous.  far cry from my days as a young girl that was very timid, overall.  i didnt know my inner strength until later in life, but once i found it, i grew, exponentially.  i had a dream, when i was 25, that i could fly.  perhaps, that was me, moving into my next totem of my sign, the eagle (scorpion, eagle, dove).

anyway, the co-worker and i slowly got closer and i found out that she had a cool and loving vibe about her.  a cool cat.  i havent had the best luck finding good friends since everyone's drama seems to follow me, so she was a refreshing relief from what i've dealt with, in the last few years.  i appreciate her friendship!  sometimes they show up when you need them most.  she knows that i am cloth diapering, took notice, and sent me these!  i love them so much!!  i laugh with her about how funny it is that im finding diapers "cute" since they wont be so cute once in use.  haha.  she said she still loves them.  her little one just turned one and is still cruising around in them and she loves it.  good news.  ♥

i've dreamed about giving you the best life possible and only want the best for you.  cloth diapering will save hundreds of dollars, will biodegrade, and, most importantly, be healthiest for your skin.  i know i'm making the right decision, as every decision, from here on out, will include you and how to give you a happy, healthy, and functional life.  i pray to the universe for mercy, love, and support.  we all need it.

eat local?  love it.  someone that truly listens and knows me and, genuinely, cares.

and speaking of friends, even though this friend and i arent necessarily "close," she's still a funny and kind friend in my life.  she sent this msg to me...  again, at a needed time.  it made me cry.

may you find good people in your life to love you.  ♥
