"The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when you discover that someone else believes in you and is willing to trust you with a friendship." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

I am blessed to call many great folk my dearest friends.  When considering the words 'you are only as good as the people you surround yourself with' I feel pretty darn special. Though many of my closest friends live far away I cherish our connection and yearn to meet again. To visit. To hang. To laugh.  And for my dearest friends near home life often takes all our time.  But I cherish them all, they hold a very special place in my heart, in my spirit. They empower me to be the best version of myself. They help me see who I am. Truly.
