...friday forget-me-not

(my little heartwingsister inspired this week by all of my dear friends)

it seems like over and over again this week i am being reminded of how fortunate
and blessed i am to have such amazing friends around me...

friends that i can laugh at the silliest of things with.
friends that send me sweet emails of love and encouragement.
friends that send me birthday wishes with some of
theee sweetest messages written inside.

friends that will call and reach out in a time of need.
friends that visit me on my simple, silly little blog and take the time to
leave comments and advice and sweet sentiments that make me smile.

friends that i play phone tag with and when we connect it is blissful.
friends that are new in my life but feel like they have been in it forever.

friends that "lift me up".

so...today...
don't forget all those beautiful souls around you that lift you up.
don't forget to thank them and...
don't forget to not only
be the lift-ee... but also the lift-er!!!

(to be honest....i think it feels so much better to be the lift-eR!!!)

sending love! xoxoxo

  7. Oh yes, it's a wonderful thing... your sweet heartfelt reponse to my recent "funkiness" post brought tears to my eyes and still does, just thinking about it!! It's kind of scary posting about something that isn't all happy and upbeat, but it's part of life, a bigger part than most of us admit to. And we do it for exactly the reason you have expressed here - we all take our turn at being the "lift-ee" and that fuels our ability to be the "lift-er" when the tables are turned! Beautifully said, Ms. Kolleen, and beautifully depicted in your adorable little heartwingsister!! Love her and love you!!! XOXOXO

  14. It's always such a pleasure stopping by here! Yes, it's fun to be the "LIFT ER," but it sure feels nice sometimes (every time in my case) to be one of the "LIFTED," here at Heartwinged Sisters.

    Hope you had a great weekend. I spent most of it at the easel. Truth be known, my aching bones and muscles gave out on me from all the recent lawn work. Took a much needed rest in the studio now that most of my Spring gardening is behind me.

    Sure enjoyed popping by! I can now journey on with a smile on my face and a lifted heart.

    Blessings, Love and Monday Sunshine, Terri

  17. Kolleen-Yes, I was totally in a state of discovering my spirituality when I had that butterfly dream. And since then they have had a special meaning for me.
