Community is an important aspect of my spiritual self, and to that extent friendship is too. I can’t imagine life without good friends spending good times together (or supporting each other through any bad times.) I am an extrovert, I am a people person, I need people to share with to be balanced and happy.

I feel blessed with a wonderful talented amazing circle of friends, who I am able to see often and who accept my family wholeheartedly. I am blessed that we can get crazy silly and serious when need be with each other. I am blessed with honest friends who are not afraid of sharing their opinions, and who know themselves, and who are still open-minded enough to be accepting of new ideas. I am blessed with friends so close that they feel like family and that Damian has such fantastic “aunts and uncles” to grow up knowing.

Michael and I quite possibly have some of the greatest friends in the world. They are made of pure awesome (with several cups of sexy piratiness added in.) We might not always agree but we can always get along. Love you guys!
