Some of the greatest treasures in life aren’t places we visit, but the people we get to walk beside. ✨
When Kristy joined me in Scotland at the last minute, it felt like life reminding me what a gift deep, lasting friendship is. From our 20s, two single teachers and tennis teammates and roomies in Kansas City to standing together decades later on the wild landscapes of Skye, laughing through midges, castles, sheep traffic jams, and hikes to the Old Man of Storr… the thread of our friendship has only grown stronger.
There’s a kind of ease and depth that comes with being known for so long. With Kristy, it’s laughter that comes quickly, conversations that go deep without effort, and a sense of being anchored in the best parts of myself.
Scotland was beautiful beyond words, but sharing it with her reminded me that the truest beauty is in the friendships that carry us through the seasons of our lives. What a blessing. 💫
