Today, I want to take a moment to celebrate a very special friendship, one that began twenty-five years ago.
You never really know when you first meet someone how the story will unfold. Will it just be a fun evening over a glass of wine, a casual acquaintance you occasionally bump into around town, or someone who is going to get into the trenches with you and stay by your side for life? When that rare, lifelong connection happens, you just know. You don’t question it, you simply go with it, finding endless gratitude in the beautiful ways it evolves over time.
We have seen each other through tremendous heartbreaks, and we have laughed much harder than we probably should have at the absolute silliest things. She stood up and officiated my wedding, and she sat down to cosign my mother’s death certificate. I have been by her side for some of her darkest moments, and I consider it the greatest honor to play a role in her brightest moments, her daughters’ lives.
Then, there is the absolute joy of watching her work. I have seen her go from nervously excited to option a book, to producing five movies, to now running a fully functioning production company. I watched her and Kate draft their very first Happy Place post, I gladly played guinea pig when it came time to test their first recipe, and I get to cheer them on as they open their first brick-and-mortar store. I absolutely love lassoing her wild ideas and harnessing them into a beautiful reality.
She is the only person I know who can hand me a glass of wine, and I will take it without hesitation, knowing a brilliant night of fun is guaranteed to follow. I love her family like my own, and I am endlessly inspired by her quiet refusal to stop. With her, there is always just a little bit more to see, do, and accomplish.
I love you, @jogarciaswisher, and I wish you the very happiest birthday. I am so grateful for the day we met, and even more so for all the love and adventures we have shared since. Wishing you so many more laughs, boundless abundance, and beautiful dreams yet to come true. xoxo

I’m weeping reading your beautiful words. Yes, we are friends who are family. But we are so much more than that. You’re a soul mate to me through and through and one of my greatest blessing. I love you so much and as each chapter unfolds it is always made possible and sweeter because of YOU!
