Day 16: Long distance Community

Remember how last week I put out the call for anybody who wanted to be on my call list to holler? Well Keah did. Keah and I met in 2005? during the Church of God writing retreat in Florida. On night one of sharing a room we deemed ourselves soul mates. Though we connected at those retreats annually for a few years, we haven't been in the same space for a while now. But when you are talking about your soul mate things don't just change because you haven't seen the other person in 5+ years. It was great to pick up on the phone tonight and slide right into an honest and authentic space with one another since both of us have added roles of wife and mother. Connecting with friends like Keah, particularly on a day like today, is refreshing.
