Coffee and Counsel

Happy Sunday, friends and fam!  I just finished up this week's homework - phew! - and I'm headed to meet Mom and Kristin for an early Christmas decorating extravaganza after I finish this post!  Feliz Navidad!! ;-)

Judge took Friday off, so I did too. =)  I met Kristin Renee for breakfast at Little J's in Tulsa before my hair appointment.  It was wonderful to see her and catch up on life over quiche and coffee and hot chocolate... and I was very grateful to get her wise counsel and perspective on my adoption decision.  She has been through a similar journey and reminded me that our faith is never wasted, that God often works in unexpected ways, and that it's important to pay attention to the areas in your life where you feel His blessing and grace and anointing!

We didn't get a pic together that morning, so here's a throwback to Chet's summer block party!  Yay, K-Foster!!

After that, Vivian and I had a hair appointment with Janelle! =)
Then I immediately messed it up while taking a delightful walk/jog down memory lane at "Crescent Park Ridge Roll" before grabbing pizza and Cookie Mama cookies and heading to see the wonderful Wilson fam!

They are providing respite foster care for a newborn this weekend.  As per always, it was good and healthy and healing for me to see them and be around their family.  I laughed that Chettles ordered the fried pickles + Hideaway ranch + Paradise Pie pizza, just like Kristin Michelle (she might skip the cauliflower crust, but I'll admit it was better than I'd expected)!
Total preshface who was excited to help out with the baby! ❤

Gracious, I'm grateful for friends who are easy and safe and gentle with me.  For secure friends who live with a growth mindset and help me in both of those areas.

I'm grateful for this good long weekend with friends and family, as tomorrow is also a holiday!  And I'm grateful for outdoor walks and seeing this sidewalk chalk message last night:

Happy Belated Bday to Frankie on Friday!  They went to Shoguns, and their server's expression for the top right pic makes me very happy! lol

And in sad news, RIP Diane Keaton, who passed away at age 79 yesterday.  I freaking loved her in Father of the Bride 1 and 2, Something's Gotta Give, Mad Money, The Family Stone, etc.  She's funny and quirky and a gem of a beautiful and successful single woman who lived with heart and joy!!

That's all for now.  I'm feeling better, and I'm making the blog public again because I'm clearly not taking a real break from writing - it helps me process everything!  So welcome back! lol  I love you and believe in you, and I believe in your ability to create a life you love!
❤ ❤ ❤
