Well. it’s Friday. Doing this series has really made me realize just how quickly weeks pass. This has been especially true the last few weeks. I feel like I have been broken apart and put back together several times. There have been highs and lows and highs again. All have served to show me that life is a beautiful journey but a winding one.With this winding journey, I had a beautiful full-circle moment. I am currently visiting San Francisco as a part of our travels. My cousin was married this past weekend in a beautiful ceremony set in the Muir Woods. As life would have it, the location was actually on an ampitheatre stage where I had acted 15 years ago. More, it was across the street from one school and around the corner from another where I taught children drama. The years I was teaching there were very vibrant and hopeful. It was wild to stumble upon them and thus, the memories.

Finally, I will end with a very special moment that San Francisco brought me. Before I left SF, I was friends with a wonderful actress named Claudya. Over the years, we lost track of each other. In 2009, I had just joined Facebook and shortly thereafter, created my first blog 38 and Growing. Via FB, we found each other. After a short time, I emailed her that I had begun a blog and was just now ready to tell friends. She write back that she had a blog, too — Unknown Mami (many Fraggers may remember her as a regular participant). Our friendship grew and deepened over time and the internet. On Wednesday, I saw her for the first time in over 8 years. It was incredible to be with her “IRL” and meet her children for the first time. This was truly a blessing to my life.

So that’s it for this week. What happened in your week? Any highs? Lows? I hope you’ll share them with us.
