I love Nia because I think of it as a way I can help people change their lives. I believe movement is the key to maintaining flexibility, agility, mobility, strength, and stability in the body. I believe that FAMSS are necessary components to leading a high quality life. I also believe there are other way people can inspire others.
One day in the mail I received a card. Here are pictures of it.
It is obviously a handmade card. The flowers sparkle, not just the “gems” in the middle but the flowers are sparkly. I love this card. I had it in my kitchen in the middle of my peninsula so that I could see both the front AND the back. It ALWAYS — no matter what — makes me smile.
This was sent to me from a fake friend. I say “fake” just so people who qualify their friends with labels such as “real” and “in real life”/IRL can understand that I have never met this woman face to face. I have only become friends with her through online portals or social networks. First I believe it was a friend’s blog. Then my blog and her blog or her blog and my blog, then Twitter. Or maybe it was Twitter then the blogs. Then Facebook. Yeah, I am sure Facebook was last. There was even some e-mail. And let’s not forget . . . . US Mail . . . . snail mail. My card.
My card that was made for me and sent to me by someone I have never met f2f (face to face), although the card proves that she is real. Very real. Also, the card is real life. I live my life and I look at that card. I actually have it in my office now which is much better because I see it for longer periods of time. It is in my line of sight. I have it to make me smile. I have it to inspire me. It inspires me to be inspired. It inspires me to want to inspire people.
It sparkles at me, reminding me to count the happies.
Aroused by divine influence, filled with reverent emotion, stimulated into action all by a true friend that filled a place I didn’t know was empty.
