Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive,and it is only by this meeting that this new world is born.

I met Rachel about a year ago when she first came to CFED. My immediate impression was that she was a beautiful, fit, young woman. As I got to know her, I learned that she is as kind and thoughtful as she is beautiful. I found her to be wise and mature beyond her years; she seemed a much older soul than her 28 years. She is a great listener and truly cares about other people. At such a young age she seems to have already figured out a lot of what really matters in life -- that in the end it's all about relationships, how we treat each other, who we love, and who loves us. I attended her wedding in March, and I was so touched by her love for her father -- it brought me to tears.
I will miss you Rae, but thanks to technology, we can still be in touch regularly. I'll visit you in Florida, and you'll visit us here in Atlanta. Love you, girl.

WOW!Now I am going to cry! We must have been looking in a mirror when we met, because I thought the same things about you! I always remember you pushing me to go to that first challenge with you, and how wonderful it made me feel to be a part of it. Your encouragement and support were just what I needed at that time in my life! We will be life long friends, because I feel we are kindred spirits. Reflecting back on my move here, I think how did I get so lucky while I was here, and I think just by staying positive from the get go helped so much, positive energy can create a beautiful world!
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rachel, Thanks for sharing those memories. I had forgotten about that first challenge and how I talked you into going and how you won your division! I was so proud of you! (And it's good for me to remember how I felt then about CF. Maybe I can get some of that back).
You are so right about being positive and that we have the power, to a great extent, to create our realities--and brighten and uplift others with our positive energy.
