The good friend with whom I enjoyed my second reunion is very private when it comes to the online world. Although I admittedly didn't ask her about being recognized in this blog, I know she is opposed to Face Book and so I doubted being named or pictured on the World Wide Web would be something she'd acquiesce to! I respect that.
I do not find her wishing to be "un-Google-able" as any of sort of flaw. Certainly, she has way too many other admirable qualities worth mentioning. While I worked with this friend for less than two years, over six years ago, she provides an important balance in my life. She is the most spiritual person I know in terms of understanding her place in the universe and what she knows she has been put on this earth to do (and she'll tell you, she's not doing it....yet). Her mind is wide open to all possibilities. She is impressively knowledgeable about Eastern philosophies and the power of the the human mind, body and spirit. She asks big questions and challenges people with provocative ideas. If I'm being honest, she makes me feel small....but not in a negative way at all. It's hard to explain....
And then, while I'm feeling "small" as it relates to a "greater purpose", this friend is probably also my most vocally and overtly supportive and encouraging. She could be the president of my Fan Club - of any of her friends' Fan Clubs! I will never know anyone so outwardly and genuinely excited to know the details of my personal and professional life. She is loud and boisterous and enthusiastic when she asks and speaks about those she loves, but in a completely sincere way. And then there's her laugh.... Our friends in common who recognize her in this post will know what I'm talking about...
I admire her passion. I admire her introspection and wisdom. I admire her honesty and the way she calls a spade-a-spade (don't cross her, she is fiercely loyal!!). I admire that she doesn't seek recognition or any sort of notoriety but that she only wants to fulfill her own purpose which, of course, will ultimately be to the benefit of hundreds if not thousands of others. Or more.
I wish her nothing but the best and the utmost success. She'll know when she has achieved it to her inner satisfaction. I hope those in her circle will too. It certainly won't be because of anything the rest of us ever sees on Face Book!
Love you B!
