1000 Miles

1000 miles between my soul sister and me.  1000 miles will become 0 miles in 4 days.  I am beyond excited to see her.  I know it will make my heart hurt worse when she leaves, but for those few hours, it will be wonderful.  To hug her, see her beautiful smile, hear her new accent...

I know she is doing well in her new ventures, but I am so very excited to see her for a few hours over the Christmas break.  That's going to be the best Christmas gift for me this year.

1000 miles can't stop our friendship.  Never will.  For this, I'm so thankful..

Joining the Party

Over a year ago, I ditched the workout and joined the party.  Zumba is so fantastic, and in so many ways.  It is an indescribably huge feeling of love and acceptance.

Now, just by looking at my body, you'd not have a clue. I haven't dropped tons of weight, or lost my jiggly belly, but I feel amazing.  It's not all about looks, though I wouldn't mind picking it up a bit and losing this little bit of weight I'm carrying around... it's about the way I feel inside.  The friendships I've made, the encouragement and acceptance I feel with these ladies.  It's something I've never had before.

This is what having real friends is like.  I'm so glad to be on the journey, I can't wait for what's around the corner.

Always a first

There's always a first... and this will be mine.

I'll try to write regularly, and hopefully I'll be able to stick with it.


Here we go!
