The love of friends

I have some of the most amazing friends in this world. Although I only see them about once a week, they have really been the greatest source of support and encouragement in life and particularly in my life I am truly thankful for such amazing people, I highly doubt I would be the person that I have become in this past year had it not been for each and every one of them. I am so grateful for the massive presence that they have created in my life.

Pam Van Wyk, me, Marie Nealon and Nana. Nana is a very athletic young lady with the potential to truly make such a difference in this world in the world of teaching. She is going to make such a fantastic teacher when she is finished.

This is just a handful of the amazing people that I have come to know over the last year and have been the greatest source of inspiration and encouragement to keep me motivated and encouraged to achieve my goals. They are a true blessing in my life. I thank God everyday for the impact that they have had on me. It truly has helped me to grow into this amazing person that I am becoming.

As the saying goes, who needs enemies when you have friends like these.

So, here is how things looked just before parkrun this morning

Outside my front gate

Going into the park

The starting point for Albert's farm Parkrun

All of this happens before putting together #ootd, this is what today's looks like

This is one of my favourite tops of late. I will admit that I used to very seldom wear anything that was not black or blue on most days. Now, I just love the brightest and boldest colours I can find.

I want to focus your attention on the necklace I'm wearing in this photo. This is one of the over 360 pieces of readily available stock I have made. This one is just as much my pride and joy as any of my other pieces. I have been sharing the products on all of my facebook pages,

along with all the other 360+ pieces. It is a wide variety and so many to choose from.

Having the encouragement and support I have from every person that I am extremely blessed to know. They are the ones that just by their presence in my life, allow the true me to shine through.

If you have the same types of friends in your life then count those blessings and always cherish each and every one of them, they are the ones that will be there for you at the drop of a hat and pull you back up when you have been thrown to the ground.

So, until the next time that I have an incredible story of love and inspiration to tell you, I will see y'all soon

Happy Saturday and enjoy your weekend
