Friends

The lady (Amber) in the photo has been lifesaver for me since moving to Washington. There are others, Jean, Jodi, Lisa, Taline, Julie, Teresa, and Diane that also mean the world to me since moving to Washington. I moved to Chewelah, Washington on July 5, 2010 and knew no one except David, but that didn't stop me from seeking my dream of living in the mountains. Here David and I are almost five years later and have no regrets of leaving Texas.

A friend is one of the most important things in my life. She helps me when I need encouragement to go on. She brings me a bouquet of flowers from her garden just because she wants to let me know she is glad we are friends. She sets up Skype meetings with me each week to make sure that I stay on track with my virtual business so I can be successful. She plans a conference call with me each month so I can stay focused on my writing. 

Friends . . . they are the reason each of us survive and become better people. Surround yourself with people you love and who love you unconditionally. Thank you ladies for being such an incredible influence in my life and supporting me in all I do!
