Act of Kindness:  At Natural Gardner’s a young girl of about 6 had a big wagon stuck (jack-knifed) in one of the isles and was clearly getting nervous as her mother moved further away from her. So I picked up the other end of the wagon and walked it around so she could get going in the right direction.

Simple? Yes,…. but off she went with relief in her eyes, and a smile in mine

 How do you know Terri:  We met October 2005 at boot camp one month after I moved to TX. We became fast adventure buddies going spelunking, taking road trips for hiking all over the TX hill country, trapeezing, and also Colorado to whitewater raft, and ATV. We spent no less than every Saturday and a couple few nights a week together, plus daily phone calls for the better part of 3 warm and memorable years.

Birthday Message to Terri:  Your friendship was a god-send back in 2005 as I had been praying hard for strong female friendships and non-girly-girl adventure buddies! This many years later, though miles separated us for a time, I still know this blessing as though it was yesterday…. and I cherish the friendship that still lives with equal gratitude!

Mere words cannot accurately describe the impact you’ve had on my life. You’ve modeled for me, and coached me verbally on ways to be a better person in many areas of my life, and I often hear you speaking to me when I need ‘words’. Thank you!

May health, love, and friendships carry you for your entire journey.
