Happy birthday my friend. I don't even know where to start – you are such an amazing woman. Smart kind funny tenacious loyal & beautiful. From the moment we met, you embraced me. You were straightforward, honest, and willing to share. Qualities that many women do not often share with one another. I was able to learn from you and grow with you.
Another favorite memory is when she and I met Tracy Anderson for the first time. Nothing like doing a group work out where you think you're about to die and pride alone keeps you going. At the end of the workout Tracy told us she could help us figure out whether we were hip-centric or glute- centric. Lisa volunteered me, of course – at which point Tracy starts feeling my bottom and thighs to determine whether I was hip or glute centric. You could've dropped a pin in that room and we'd all have heard it. Lisa was struck mute and I swear her eyes bugged out of her head. Of course, I'm standing there getting palpitated amongst my friends and completely mortified. Needless to say, No ONE volunteered to go next. To this day we still laugh about it.
I also love that we can go to a sci-fi movie together and order popcorn with butter and NO judgement :~)
One of my fondest memories is going to the Anthony robins seminar together . I remember I remember going through the entire weekend with introspection--thinking about who we were as people and where wanted to go in life. And of course, I remember interlacing our fingers so tightly as we were approaching the fire walk that I thought every single digit would fall off. It was so cold and I was so scared that I was shivering. But we made it through! It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience I forever be grateful that I share the experience with you. You have been a welcome addition around our table for Thanksgiving, Fourth of July, and special events. Family and friends are so incredibly important; and I am proud to call you a Family friend!
