People come in and out of our lives every day but there are some that find a place in our hearts.  Friendships blossom for so many different reasons and serve so many different purposes.  We laugh together, we cry together and we share moments of our lives together.  The love we share with friends fills us with confidence we need to take a leap of faith, calms us when we’re fearful and often has us laughing non-stop.  Friends often become our chosen family and we trust them with our secrets and our heart’s greatest desires because we view our friends to be our guardians and confidantes.  Friendship is a shapeshifter taking many different forms and colours, each one unique.  Here’s a note on friendship and the types of friendships I’ve experienced.

Here is my spring checklist.
