A friend in need becomes a tower of strength...

We've all been through it at one time or another, and it's not easy...


It's just never easy to see a friend going through a tough time in life. This past year has been...well...let's say challenging for my dear friend Janae. In the beginning I wasn't sure how to help other than to lend an ear when she needed someone to listen.

And then something started to happen, really without her even noticing.

She kept putting one foot in front of the other...

Taking one bite of the elephant at a time... And figuring out a way to get through each day... And now instead of worrying about her a lot, I'm rejoicing in her inner strength and seeing her emerge into her new existence like a butterfly squeezing herself out of a restrictive cocoon...

Head on over to Janae's blog to read about her birthday Random Acts of Kindness campaign. You'll see what I mean.


Love you, Janae!

You're rockin' this life, girl!

Time does help, although sometimes it's hard to appreciate it when you're stuck in the mire.
