In 2014, I started a jewelry business and hand made bangles, necklaces, and more. Much like Wear to Wander, I started it without realizing who it would bring into my life. Fast forward to last month, and I found myself spending the night in Scottsdale, Arizona at the home of one of the dearest friends I met through that business. We’ve remained long distance friends for nearly ten years, but the distance hasn’t interrupted the friendship. Katie’s been a constant and we’ve been through the ups and downs of life together. When I called her to see if I could stay the night on my cross country trip in February, there wasn’t a moments hesitation. The answer was of course. Often we make life decisions with the hopes of one thing happening, but then something or someone else comes along. In this case it was one someone who is a personal hype woman. Katie is a a true gem of a human, and I’m grateful our paths crossed at that moment. I didn’t know how much of a friend like her I’d need through the last few years. So, let’s be like Katie and cheer on the friends in our lives! Check in on a friend and see how they are doing tonight. Set up a coffee date or even a FaceTime coffee date and find out how you can cheer them on in their life, too! A bit of a side note: if you have never heard of Marco Polo, check it out. This isn’t an ad, it’s just the facts. It’s been the best way for me to keep in touch with my friends with kids. LTKFind LTKSeasonal LTKFestival
