kindred spirits

As a Canadian prairie girl {shhh, don’t tell anyone}, my favorite movie as a child was Anne of Green Gables. Maybe it was how much I could relate to Anne—teased at school and had a very short temper—or maybe it was because she was so truthful and blunt. Whatever it was, I loved her and would watch that movie on CBC every year at Christmas when it aired. Of all the things I’m fond of in that movie, her term for good friends always stood out in my mind.

I clicked instantly with the girl woman girl-woman {a topic for a future post} who replaced me at the corporate office when I moved to the agency office a couple of years ago. We were different but also so much alike, and, as I discovered recently, we have gone through similar emotional struggles. And oh yeah, she is obsessed with cats! She is one of only a handful of friends who knows about my blog {and probably the only one who reads it}. There are many areas of my life that are open to my friends. But sometimes, I need to write to strangers, to have anonymous people read about my experiences, my thoughts, my emotions, and my secrets. Because of our similarities {the emotional struggles, not necessarily the cats, lol}, I trusted her with what I revealed in my blog.

She is my kindred spirit.

She’s also freaking funny, so please check out her blog – Unfiltered Discourse – best read uncorked!
