Here we go!

Today is the first day of my new Project.  But yet already within the first sentence, I have a correction.  Today is the first day of "our" new Project.  A project in the making, a project talked about for years, a project with little or no direction, and a project that both of us feel is inspired.  The us in we, or rather our, (can you tell I'm not the one that is grammatically correct) is my dear friend Tara and myself.  I met Tara years ago in a math class, but I plead ignorant as to what year.  She was an answer to a prayer that literally took years for me to stop praying for the same thing and recognize that the Lord had already blessed me with such a friend.  A friend who could understand.  With that understanding she has helped and inspired me through more rough patches than I could ever imagine.  We have laughed and cried through hours of conversation in which I wish I could rewind the eternal clocks and hear her wisdom all over again. 

That is what I hope to do with this project.  I want to take the conversations, the wisdom and the strength that Tara has given me, the joy and the tears and hopefully inspire others.  We are nothing alike but we share the same vision, the same emotion, the same refiners fire in this experience called life.  With each hurdle we have overcome, I realize how much we are the same.  We share an affinity for the Gospel of Jesus Christ  and that bond is what I am most thankful for. A commonality in which cannot be ignored.  The Gospel innately makes us realize that we have more in common than not.  As with all women in this world.  Akin sister to one another, paralleling journeys, no matter how different we all may seem.

Tara is a writer and I am aspire to be one.  But with this project we hope we can reach out and help and inspire others, that may be searching for someone else who understands.
