Little Birdy

My little bird elephant died on March 9, 2007 in the wee hours of the morning. I cried and cried and sobbed and sobbed and sobbed. I loved him.

May you sing your beautiful songs forever little birdy. You were in our lives for a short time, but you truly did make an impact on us. You always had a sweet demeanor. You loved to sing to the heavens. And once, you woke me up while I was asleep in the bathtub ~ even though you normally did not sing at night. For that, I thank you little birdy. I hope you liked it here with our family. May you rest in peace and always know you were loved.

As I was driving home from Mississippi this weekend, I had a self-realization that ~ loving yourself is not about accepting every part of your "body." That loving yourself is loving your inside ~ your heart. A friend asked me recently if I loved myself ~ I did not have an answer until now. Yes ~ I love my soul.


(This picture is of me playing with my sweet little niece Annie B. I pray that she always loves herself on the inside because her little soul is so, so beautiful.)

The Beauty of Friends

You could search the whole world looking for a friendship like ours, and you would only wear out a good pair of feet. -Bradley Trevor Greive

The faith in our friends grows as each of us helps the other move foward in life.
