So sweet, Stephanie. And so true; all you gotta do is look someone in the eye, say hi, ask a question, and a whole new reality can be manifested.

And yet so often we choose not to! But I have a feeling from reading your writing that this is something you're good at ;)

Ah friendship, the kind that makes you smile. We're not meant to be eating crabs alone. They taste better together!
