It was my pleasure to be one of a dozen ladies that came together to celebrate our friend’s birthday. The laughter, good food, conversations and good vibes were shared and felt throughout the celebration. Remember everyone that fellowship with one another aids in the development of relationships and we all need or will need somebody at sometime in our lives. #LoveOneAnother

Reflections:
*I want to share that I did something last week that I hadn’t done in years…I held a baby. As I entered a certain retail store, I noticed a young lady from my community in the checkout line, with her children. We exchanged greetings, I spoke to the children then reached out my hands to the youngest being held in her arms. To my delight he leaned towards me and then was completely in my arms. Wow! What a feeling to realize how innocent and completely dependent our littles ones are on us adults to love, nurture and care for them. I walked around with this sweet baby until Mom finished checking out. I gave/received hugs to/from this family and we said our “I love yous”, while parting ways. #CompassionInAction
