Senegal

Being in Senegal is a Wonderful Blessing.

I’ve often said that Friends are the fruit of our hearts and the family we choose (les amis sont le fruit de notre cœur et de la famille que nous choisissons).

The Queen Grandmothers of this family have embraced me and said. Tu Es Ma Soeur! You Are My Sister! 👑❤️👑

They  have shared many gifts including their homes, children and grandchildren.  Through sharing they have offered the gift of friendship. These Ladies are private don’t usually allow their photos to be on social media.  For me they made an exception. And  I am extremely grateful for their beautiful hearts!

Friends are the Fruit of Our Hearts and the Family We Choose!

Beautiful People,

Our Friends are the delicious fruit of our hearts.  Some fruit we experience often.

Others are a rare delicacy that we seldom have the opportunity to savor.

Some fruit like avocados, oranges, grapefruit, kiwi or mangoes, we must peel.

Others Friends are the apples, blueberries, grapes, pears, and strawberries of our hearts.

Sometimes Our Friends may even be bananas, coconuts or watermelons!

Through Friendship we learn that just as no fruit tastes the same;  no human has the ability or capacity to offer us exactly what we give them.

Friends may agree or disagree. Sometimes Friends may hurt eachother and need to ask for  Forgiveness.

Friends may live close or far away.  They may speak often or rarely.

Other Friends will forever be a Mystery.

Most Importantly, Friends Are the Fruit of Our Hearts and the Family We Choose!

When nurtured with care, compassion, courage, deep listening, integrity, sometimes space and Always LOVE,  our Friendships will remain the delicious, cherished fruit of our hearts.

Breathe Ten Times. Inhale Deeply.  Exhale Joyfully.

Affirmation 🍒🍑🥭🍍🥥🥝

“Today I Am Grateful for Every Friendship that Has Blossomed, Shared and Taught Me to Honor and Value the Grace and Mystery of Unconditional Love throughout the Many Seasons of Our Lives.”

Believe. Breathe. PRAY. Live. Love.

Always, Melony 👑❤️👑
