Have you ever been sitting at home or driving in the car and suddenly think of someone you haven't seen in a while? It may be a friend, family member, neighbor, or even someone you only met once. I have been having that happen to me a lot lately!! And since I started this blog, I decided that I was going to make an effort to either call or visit the person I was thinking about. This week I kept thinking about my neighbor Morgan Krantz. We are pretty good friends, though we don't see each other very often. She is in my ward and her husband teaches my daughter Natali's primary class. For the past two days, her name kept popping into my head. So, after I took my kids to school, I stopped off at the gas station and bought her two bags of peanut MnM's. (Her favorite!) I drove home and stopped by her house and dropped them off. I didn't get to see her, but I spoke with her hubby for a minute and then left. I went off to go about my day and run my errands. When I got home, I had a message from Morgan thanking me for the treat. When I called her back, I found out that earlier this week she had been in the hospital and she told me that I must have been inspired to take her the treat. I have to admit that I don't feel inspired....like, EVER, but I think I was this time! It just reminds me that Heavenly Father is aware of all of us and knows our needs......even if they are MnM's!!!
The second service of the day was super easy! My friend Emily Rideout requested that I write her a love letter. It was fun and I sent it off this morning! Emily is my black soul sister! One day I confessed to her that I have always wanted to be black. SO DOES SHE!!!! I love it! I just think that we were born with soul! Sadly, Bonquiqu (that's Emily's black name) moved to Utah a few years ago. We still keep in touch and I hope she enjoys the love letter from Shanaynai!
The project part of my day is happening tonight! I am taking my other black soul sister out on the town!! Missy Scoresby is from North Carolina and every time I am with her, I come home talking with that thick accent of hers!! Missy is having a baby girl next month and she needs to get out of her house! Missy is always doing so much for other people, but she has a nasty habit of not letting others help her. I have been working hard and totally imposing myself on her by just showing up at her house ready to clean or whatever! The fact that I got her out of the house tonight is a miracle!! I don't know where we are going or what we are doing, but you can bet that we are going to have a blast!
You're awesome, Kate. I never feel inspired either. I can't tell the diff. And keep writing cause you may just be sparking a flame in my lazy little heart. You know, the one with a hole in it......I knew I was defective! Rub Missy's belly for me tonight!!!
