Quote of the Day 1/3/12
"Friendship is the hardest thing in the world to explain. It's not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything." [Muhammad Ali]
Twice the reason to celebrate!
January 3rd isn't officially over, therefore I still have some time to brag about yet another two wonderful women in my life who happen to coincidentally, share a birthday today!
First of all, this person has been talked about before but not formally introduced. The picture above is of my bestest, dearest, most amazing, loving, inspiring, honest, motivating, best friend... Shannon Nicole Orr. At some point I will have to write about the story of how our friendship came to be because it is really one fascinating story. Shannon is the one person, outside of my family, who knows things about me. She has literally been there for some many things that have happened to me over the past few years, both the really good and the really sucky. What I have appreciated the most is the honest in our friendship. We tell each other how it is, and respect the criticism because we mutually understand that it comes from the most loving place. When it comes to fights, there haven't been any. Our moments of frustration with each other last about two minutes, because we can always say whats on our minds. PLUS, I have cried to her about the same boy(s) quite a few times in the past few years and she never would even roll an eye, I think she is a keeper :). We live quite a few thousand miles apart now, but things haven't changed. We aren't growing apart, but growing together. We love each other, pray for each other, and couldn't imagine life without each other. She is one of a kind and she's changing the world. I am so blessed and gracious to be able to call her my best friend. Happy Birthday S!

Life Lessons With Lydia (and a Nov/Dec update)
The past few weeks have been exhausting, exhilarating, and educational:exhausting because you run on minimal sleep, exhilarating because life always throws a curveball or three and educational because well, you never stop learning. I have not written in a few weeks but in the meantime, I have been thinking and reflection about what I want to write. There is so much I have experienced and wrestled with the past few months but along the way I have discovered life lessons to abide by and things that naturally, I also struggle with. Ignore my cheesy title, I promise you will find these life lessons very applicable.

Quote of the Day 12/22/11
| "Just because the solutions of problems are not visible at any particular time does not mean that those problems will never be alleviated -- or confined to tolerable dimensions." [M. I. Abramowitz] |
