Girlfriends
Sorry that I have been absent for the last week or so . . . I’ve been knee-deep in Meghan’s room remodel and that has been keeping me more than busy! I will have the Big Reveal very soon. Just working on some final details, and hope to have photos by early next week!
In the meantime . . .
I would be remiss if I didn’t make mention of something wonderful unfolding in my life that is turning out to be a true blessing to me.
In March, I reconnected with a friend from high school, someone I haven’t seen or spoken to in over 20 (gasp!) years. In the months prior to the email I finally sent her, my friend’s name kept popping up in the strangest places, from what seemed like out of nowhere. When this series of “coincidences” caused me to finally think, “Hey, maybe the universe is trying to tell me something!” I finally contacted her. I prayed that she wouldn’t think I was somehow stalking her!
Fortunately, Tracie is a beautiful soul. Through email and Twitter, she and I became reacquainted. When I realized how many interests we share, I began to understand that it was probably only a matter of time before we were to stumble upon each other.
Tracie is such an inspiration to me . . . in many ways, and I feel blessed to have her in my life at the moment!
And if that wasn’t wonderful enough . . . I feel like I’ve also inherited this amazing Girl Tribe through her, as well! Tracie has been so kind to me by introducing me to many of her close friends. I haven’t really had a circle of girl friends since high school, and it feels really nice to be surrounded by such a spectacular group of women. Even though I’m just meeting everyone for the first time, everyone seems familiar. I have felt embraced when I could have clearly felt out of my comfort zone. (Thank you, Tracie, for including me. And thank you Heather, Amy, Tiffany, Marta and the rest of the group for welcoming me!)
The best part of spending time getting to know everyone has been watching how they support each other and take care of each other. I am in awe of their dynamics and their synergy. It has been truly inspirational to me! And every time I witness prayers going up or some other selfless act of caring for another, I am reminded of this quote:
“The circles of women around us weave invisible nets of love that carry us when we’re weak and sing with us when we’re strong.” -Sark
Feeling very blessed.
Have a safe and relaxing holiday weekend, everyone!
Peace,
Leslie







Today is a very special day to me. It is my amazing husband’s birthday. Mike isn’t feeling very celebratory this year, which is a shame, because I would like to celebrate him and everything I love and appreciate about him. So I shall, right here.
