Sometimes the sweetest blessings arrive at your doorstop, devoid of fanfare but hardly without notice.
Such is the case of a friendship that began before I met her: Amber, author of the run-a-muck and THE mother of The Mother Letter Project Blog.
I first loved Amber through the eyes of her husband; Shannon introduced me to Seth, intuitively "knowing" I would want to help him promote The Mother Letter Project. She was right. For a "words of encouragement" girl, the Christmas gift he was planning for her–a blog from mothers to mothers–was something I thought was beyond fabulous. I loved brainstorming ideas about how to get the word out, and when all was said and done, over 500 letters were written (and they're still accepting more in anticipation of Mother's Day).
Anyways…
Amber and I had opportunity to meet a few weeks ago at BlissDom, and it approximated Jonathan and David…a heart-to-heart kindredness, rare and exquisite. Read her blog and you'll fall in love, too. She has a voice of beauty and her prose is electric…poetic…compelling.
Tonight I discovered she was talkin' about me behind my back.
Sometimes…that's a good thing.
But I can't help but feel like I don't deserve it, daggum her time.
I still love her, though…how could I not?

Oh. You.
LOL! The guantlet has been thrown. 😛 How sweet y’all are in that picture – and matching too! 🙂
What a lovely post! And photo as well!! And so apropos for the time around Valentine’s Day. I’ve always used that day to honor my friendships!
You both look beautiful in your blue dresses!

Cute photo.
Btw, I’m hosting Fun Monday on 2/23.
You two look like you could be sisters!

I love this because you are honestly humble. You are one of my guardian angels I think 🙂 Praying for you in all your travels coming up — I can’t wait to read about everything!!
I love this girl! It’s no wonder the entire internet buzzed with her Christmas gift!
Awww…Y’all look to match-y cute together. Seriously, you could be taken for sisters, not only sistahs!
Have to agree with Amber, though – You do deserve it!
I agree with one of the commenters above – you look like you could be sisters! I arrived here from Amber’s site but I think I have visited before. I am glad she pointed me this way.

What a great picture. I could stare at any picture of my wife for hours. Perhaps that’s why I keep coming back to your post today. That Amber is one cute girl!
Hi Robin,
What nice photos you both posted and such a sweet post Amber wrote about you!
God bless you.
