In conversation with a dear friend, Patti, I mentioned  that it was hard to imagine a time when she wasn’t in my life.  We met a few years ago at another friend’s gathering and have been gigglng co-conspirators discussing various subjects ranging from family to sex, from food to music. She commented this morning that she wishes I lived closer so that we could get into all kinds of mischief together.  I told her that there are times when I feel as if I ‘collect’ people like those velcro dart boards that when you throw the velcro enwrapped balls at them, they stick.  We laughed as simultaneously, we referred to them as ‘heart boards’, since these friends attach themselves to our hearts.

Take a moment to think about the people in your life who ‘stick’ to you by making yourself an available heart board.  Who are the folks that so enrich your life by bringing out the highest and best in you and vice versa?  I would love to hear about that here.

 To all of my heart board friends, I am grateful that you came to play. <3
