I have a few friends that I’m sure were sent from heaven, but there is one, her name: Karina and we all call her “Ka”. She has been with me all the way… More surgeries that I can count, hardships, breakup, depression, laughter, kids, tears and trips. She never judges me, she listens to me with her beautiful and huge heart, she simply loves me as I am, just like that… as I called her my sister from another mother, for me she is family, the family that doesn’t have same last name or blood line, but “heart family”, the ones that you decide to love with out any strings attached. And also there are friends that I haven’t met, but had taught me about love, presence, compassion and vulnerability… you Elena, are one of those. I love you ❤️
I too have a sister that I’d shave my head for. If granted the time we plan to live out our years together like the golden girls. Sharing my life with her is such a gift.
My daughter and dog- daughter have saved me multiple times, bringing me back to what matters most. Thank you for sharing, beautiful friendship and story of courage
True soul sisters are magnificently connected through the heart. Beating together with tears and smiles, always there for each other. Thank you, Elena, for sharing this!
So beautifully written and experienced. Do you find that softening is always within reach having tasted it or as time passes by do you feel like it escapes you?
It would be easy to say that the trees had no idea ~ how beautifully they would be held from the moment Christy and Gavin said yes to their land in Western North Carolina. For that matter, the streams, the fox, the Pileated woodpeckers...yet, I think every being knew, all along. I feel a difference just knowing Christy is near.🌱

That’s magical perhaps it’s the gift of femininity the competition among males often precludes such intimacy. Heart rendering indeed.
With a timeline of tragedies and blessings,
It’s always been my sister friends who supported and loved me…. my bestie for 50 years now… still so close… over the years and miles. And others….
Using your beautiful word ‘softening’,
I realize that that is what they also did….
created a soft space and prevented a possible hardened heart.
I love your way of sharing your heart. Thank you for the ‘softening’
