Discovering ...

i have a pen pal ...

yep

we have never met

we do not even know what each other looks like
i do not even know her last name

we have never spoken over the phone

only through letters...

well letters through email

( although hand written letters would be so much better )

hmmm...

anyways...

i have a friend ... who has a friend ...

who was struggling

in a way that was familiar to me

you see she just had her first baby and she was slowly

discovering that though she was gaining something...

she was slowly losing another thing...

HERSELF

all you mothers i know you know ...

and so ...

we write.

daily.

we lift each other

we have no filters

we write from our hearts... we do not hesitate on what words to put down

we each sift through each others ramblings to discover the core

because you see... we have this thing...

A UNSPOKEN truth of sorts

I'm here for you... you here for me

And it is so refreshing.

perhaps one day i will share some of our letters...

they are ... BEAUTIFUL.

not because we are great writers...

but simply due to the fact that we are just two women

speaking truth to one another...

we are two women sharing with each other.

we are honest

we are keeping it real

and today i encourage all of you to do the same.
