And BELIEVE ME, I have GOT some stories. . .

A BOX FULL OF CRAZY . . . . . . . enjoy!

See Ya 'Round WhiskeyTown!!!
Friends,
It is my pleasure to invite you to visit a NEW, EXCITING BLOG, WhiskeyTown, USA!
This past summer, after 17 years, I re connected with an old friend from my days spent at Tates Creek High School, Eric Marr.
Eric has made it his career working with communities and their businesses to make them harmonious.
Listening and engaging him in conversation is inspiring and motivating.
It doesn't take long to see and feel the intense passion he has for this city!
Recently having moved back to Lexington, Eric is rapidly expanding his network, getting involved and positively infiltrating our community! You may find his community involvement blog at Infinity Bluegrass!!!
WhiskeyTown, USA, on the other hand, will focus on "the richer, more cultural frequencies of life that I think our Lexington needs to encourage, embrace and express, much more freely and openly." says Eric.
I have been invited to be a contributing writer and am super excited at the opportunity to share my experiences in this great, flourishing city I call home, Lexington, KY. As a matter of fact I published my first post there about 10 minutes ago!!! CHECK IT OUT!!!
See you 'round WhiskeyTown!!!

Case In Point
Having made the comment now at least 1,000 times, I again find myself with affirmation of its deepest truth.
"I have the most amazing friends."
Friday I was laid off from my job.
Saturday at 10:30am, Christie along with her two sons, Kadir and Trey arrived bearing gifts of homemade muffins (3 kinds) fruit and coffee.
Unbeknown to me, it had been declared Bunny Slipper Breakfast Party Day.
What would I do without you?
All of you. . .
I couldn't fathom.

Along the way.
2009 is officially here. No, really, it is. . .
The past weeks have been filled with family, traveling, more family and friends.
I want to say that at Christmas, every hug of my 88 year old grandmother meant a little more, so I held on a little longer. I helped both Brittany AND Logan (cousins)cheat at Scrabble. . . against each other! I held my Mother's hand and patted my Daddy's belly. I've finally managed to look at my family and realize how blessed we are to have one another. Yes, I think I must have known this time was coming but I never knew how it would capture and embrace my heart and soul so strongly. Thirty-five years was far too long to wait for all this.
The New Year has always been a favorite of mine. I'm always filled with some hope, speculation and ambition to make the next 365 days better than the last and I cannot help but sit and reflect over the past. There's nothing quite like your friends to remind you of your prior year. . . whether you want to hear about it or not!
Friendships are ever changing over the years. Some grow stronger while others fall into the quiet corners of photo albums, blogs and memories.
I've learned more about friendships this year than in all of my prior thirty four years combined. Tonight proved no different.
Friendships are relationships; no different than those with a parent or a spouse. Why is it that we assume friendships will be easy and always perfect just because they are "friend"ships?
Tonight a group of friends came together. We learned things, we realized we had grown and our stories found common ground.
Our friendships were bigger than a story, bigger than outside influences and were stronger than we'd known.
I am always amazed when I see just one side and how I feel when I finally see the other side.
I am shocked at those who let people they claim to love go, so easily.
I have always said that I am blessed with the best friends.
We are all in a relationship with one another. My friends are part of my life and my heart, as much as my family. Sometimes you defend them, fight for them, nourish them, love them, hate them, grow with them or watch them grow on their own; forgive them, and sometimes you just have to sit and wait for them to find their way back.
When we take a moment and look down that long path, there are some who are always there along the way.
But then, there are those who somehow make it to the end of that path before you, just to meet you there.
Happy New Year, my friends!
