i met the sweetest bloggers, today, over coffee.
marilyn had the most beautiful color in her eyes. the light would hit them, and i couldn't help but beam, inside.
and beth had the warmest smile, that welcomed me, over and over, throughout the day.
there was conversation, with laughter and understanding.
there was a comfort at that table, in the coffee shop. a comfort that fed my soul.
women tend to do that, for one another. : )
i wish you could have been there. i thought of you all, often.  we even spoke of you... i couldn't help but mention, how i appreciate every comment, you leave here....
how when you take the time to come here + visit, it means the absolute, world to me.
i am grateful.
life is good.
that's all~

one love
one light
: )

28 ladlefuls of love:

i'm so glad you had that time. connection is so precious!

Marilyn said...

It was an amazing gathering and I just loved every moment we shared together. I loved getting a hug from Christina. And the secrets out, but I kept wanting to touch her beautiful curls. They were so pretty. But most of all was the sharing of our hearts, the hearts that I knew were there; but face to face is totally wonderful.

Annette said...

So glad you all had a good time!
Saying hi to Marilyn-
I was waiting to see if anyone mentioned those curls! They look so beautiful from here. I want to squeeze them! lol
hoping to meet you one day Christina!

What a wonderful thing..that you could connect and share some giggles. And even though you met for the first time, it must have felt like you truly really knew each other.
