My good friend Sarah has been someone who has changed me, my world, my life in ways I am sure she knows nothing about! As a friend, she has been a presence through the good times and the challenges. Often silently, but many times in other more tangible ways as well. For example, when there became a need for my son to move to another country, she was there, to offer both emotional support and to give him many things that he needed to establish his new home. It was a huge transition for all of us in that season, yet Sarah was a solid, practical, spiritual and emotional support. Although I have thanked her profusely, she will likely never know the degree to which her support was, and is, valued.
Sarah is a strong, spiritual human who gives of herself generously. My life has been substantially enriched by her perspectives and her ever present authenticity and sense of humor. She is a woman I admire and deeply love and appreciate.
