Humbled by my new friends

I was honored to be invited to a new friend's 50th birthday party.

We have a few friends in common which is how we became friends about a year or so ago.

Bob and Lisa are amazing people--talented, honest, caring, funny, and have the most exciting lives I've ever come across! Yet, they don't act it. They are down-to-earth and quite grounded.

My friend Kim told me this party would be exquisite --she did not lie.

From the ambiance to the food, the champagne, the multiple birthday cakes, the diverse company, and never-ending laughter--a perfect night had by all.

Bob's speech truly brought tears to every single person in the room.


I'm just humbled and blessed to have the acquaintance of so many wonderful people and ever in-debted to God for putting us in each others lives.


One thing I will never get over and never be comfortable with is compliments.

On one hand, it's wonderful to be complimented --yet for some reason it creeps me out!

Bob and Lisa kept telling their guests what a beautiful voice I have --though I love hearing the accolades, I really get so embarrassed.

I think this is something I will never get over.....hearing it from two tremendously talented people like Bob and Lisa brings a tear to my eye and gives me a reason to continue using my God-given gift.


Again, it seems at the end of each day, I must look up to the Heavens and thank God for not only living through the day, but for the great people and gifts he has let me share that day.
