“The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God.
Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be.” ~ Anne Frank
Today was Angie Bliss Fanning’s 56th birthday. We started the day with breakfast with two of my favorite people; Angie’s mom, Joyce, and Diane Rickey (below). Ang and I and Diane, we’ve started a new tradition of a selfie of the three of us every time I visit. This is the second of the series (we did the first last year when Diane and I met).
Then, in the evening, Kate Michael Gibson and her beaming smile came over with a car piled high with fresh veggies she and boyfriend Ben grew on their farm. She proceeded to whip them into a truly unforgettable meal. Angie and I, we didn’t like kale or turnips or radishes. After Katie worked her culinary magic, we both now like kale and turnips and radishes, at least when Katie makes them. It was an incredible gift to Angie – and to me – to have Katie pour so much love into a home cooked meal. It was an incredible gift to Angie, and to me, to have breakfast with two gifted women. This day start to finish was a blessing for me. My BFF gets another trip around the sun, and I got to spend it with her and three other beautiful souls. I’m so proud of all of them. Their trials and tribulations are as individual as they are, and yet they forge ahead and remain sweet spirited. They inspire me.
