The luxury
of true friendship is hard to describe. It’s like the perfect sunrise and sunset, at once. It’s that cozy sweater, after coming in from the cold.

Every life
needs a pretzel, a bretzel, or perhaps even, a lobster. That special being, someone, thing, event, experience, both to look forward to, and back on. Those things that anchor us in our humanity. This unique experience in our soul’s current flesh covered canoos. So today, when you have that moment, over coffee, or perhaps in…

Old friend
how good it is to hear of your fortune and happiness, of the joy you share, of opportunity and abundance. Dear friend, thank you for your impact and imprint on my path; gratitude, peace, and love to you and yours. ~Lu
