Mirsa is a long time friend. But for my husband, Joe, their friendship goes back even farther. Mirsa and Joe were neighbors back in college, when Joe and I were first dating. They did everything together. Went grocery shopping together, cooked handmade egg rolls together, watched the movie Elf (way. too. many. times!) together. They were both attending school on the opposite side of the country from their own families, so a special bond formed, and suddenly they were each other's family. A group of us, consisting largely of Joe, Mirsa & their surrounding neighbors, were all constantly hanging out together. Needless to say, Mirsa quickly became a close friend. Fast forward to today, after graduation Mirsa moved back to her home in Seattle, Washington and found the guy of her dreams, Jeff. He asked her to marry him, and we couldn't be happier for them both.
Words of Wisdom Wednesday
At some point in our lives, we have all had big dreams. We envision ourselves doing what we love and being with the people that we love. But unfortunately, many settle for the first thing that feels comfortable, and that dream never becomes a reality. We stay in our comfort zone and give up on ever reaching our dreams.
And so, for today's Words of Wisdom Wednesday post, I thought I'd encourage you to take a leap of faith and just go for it! Do what you love, talk to the people you love, but most of all, try! It may not be easy, but it will definitely be worth it.
