Friday Light – the glow of friendship

Friday Light – the glow of friendship

Myriam, Jen, Jen, Hula, Ali, Mati, Kelly Rae, Andrea and me (on the end- running into place after I pressed the shutter for our annual timer shot).

I’m not usually at a loss for words but coming home from a friendship retreat like this leaves me more with feelings than words. Kelly Rae calls this group her compass (perfectly said). Hula learned 22 amazing thingsover the weekend (me being responsible for the aquanet). Mati shares her heart in a powerful portrait. Jen reflects on the meaning of true friends. Ali reveals her experience in pictures. Jen speaks poetry. And I am just still glowing. And ruminating. On what it is to be a friend. To have a friend. To be truly seen and deeply loved, no matter what. *sigh*

And then, of course there are the 1000 photos I need to sift through. But, that’s more like a treasure hunt than anything else, isn’t it?

So, may I ask, what’s got you glowing these days?

    love this. I’ve really seen the meaning in my friendships this week as well, as they all really gathered around me in a bubble of love and support. They are amazing. It is so easy to look at other people’s friendships and think "wow, i wish i had something like that." but then something happens … something big… and you realize… oh, i do have that. Cool 🙂

    What a wonderful group of friends you have!

    My glow comes from my upcoming family trip. A get in the car and drive trip. No plans, just a general direction. Should be fun.

    Hi Tracey,

    Not sure whose blog I found first but now I read all of your blogs and have connected with most of you on FB. I just adore reading about your friendships and connections with each other. You guys inspire me to not only create and grow, but to enjoy my soul-friendships. Thank you. Looks/sounds like a WONDERFUL weekend!

    I’m glowing about the creative inspiration that has found me recently. Also glowing thanks to an amazing job offer my husband received yesterday. We’re moving to NYC and my soul is buzzing with hope and excitement over the big change we’re about to experience.

    Have a great night,
    Lisa G.
