When a saw a little package arrive in the mail for me today from my friend, Steph Harding, I was beyond excited. I was joyful. When I opened up the package I saw an awesome issue of RoadBelly, a handful of awesome little prints and something very special.
When I saw it … I got goosebumps.
It hit me right in my heart. After spending 3 long days in the heart of the upper peninsula of Michigan, aka the UP, it was some of the greatest timing I’ve encountered lately. If you don’t know this already, I was born and raised there. I love it there. It’s always going to be my home. The whole damn UP.
It honestly made my day. It could even cap off the entire week. Especially if I open a beer with it haha.
I am extremely fortunate and blessed to have people like Steph in my life. She is one of the many people that make my life so enriched. A friendship is a vessel to bring your life to a greater place. That’s why I believe in the structure of the word “friendship” so much. Friend and ship within the same word. It truly means a person that takes you to new places, even new places in your head and in your heart. We must all be prepared to sail with each other.
The lesson I get from this today is to never stop giving. Give … give and give again. It’s the little things that can make all the difference.
