Jenny is a NWA gal that I have one of those digital relationships with.  But like so many in this amazing blogger community because we have mutual friends and share mutual interests, we all feel like we are connected.  Her blog is the kind that beckons you in. You...

She is the cutest little pint of energy.  This woman leaves a wake of joy wherever she goes.  She is joy.  She is energy.  She is giving.  And, she is not afraid to share all of herself with those she is around.  I love when I walk into an event and see her smile. ...

Oh Jerusalem.  A gal I'd love to know more than I do.  I used to work with her parents when I was at Ouachita and was so surprised when I jumped into this world of AWBU, to not only meet another Ouachita gal, but one I felt like I knew since I knew those from whom...

  Leslyn. One of my babies that has one of her own now.  Leslyn went to Ouachita (like most everyone in her family).  She was one of my kiddos.  One that I cooked for and let me giggle with.  During the days I was getting to know her, she was getting to know a...

If I didn't love her so much, I'd be done with this one alone just from her daily mountain views in her Instagram feed.  She is teaching me so much about loving a visual moment.  About snagging the everyday and capturing it in a way to share with the world.  About...

Met this gal when I moved to NWA.  We met as volunteer and staff partner and soon became friends.  Along the way I learned she was bravely chronicling her journey with trying to get pregnant.  It was brave.  She is brave.  She is a fighter.  She fights for life on...

Loving this sweet friend of mine.  She is a constant encourager, lover of the everyday and teaching us all to love life and live in the moments in between.  Alison lives on the other side of the world and we can't wait to have our Arkansas gal back on the...

Confession: yes, I had to look up her last name to make sure I spelled it right! Gina K as I know her is a giver.  Honestly, I'm learning more about this friend.  But, when I think about her, I think "inclusive".  I love that she is always participating in our AWBU...

I'm going to cut to the chase on this intro.  I'm so grateful for this woman for believing me.  I mean she listened to a woman who hadn't talked to me 5 years.  She took her word based on a conversation in the Clearance section of a Hallmark store.  She drove an...

Whitney is one running fool.  I mean the last time I saw her, we were both looking rough...she had just finished a race.  I was just out at a farmer's market on a Saturday morning.  Seriously I love seeing how independent and fiercely she lives.  As a single gal in...

This sweet friend is no stranger to you.  She kindly helped me celebrate my birthday this year by sharing with you her Pink Champagne cake (she knows a girl needs to celebrate with some pink sparkles!).  In that place, I told you about her, but you never really can...
