There are those people who you instantly connect with…not on a superficial level, but a long-lost-friend-I-never-knew-I-didn’t-have kind of level. This is Katy. From her first emails I knew I would love her.
In the 36 hours we spent together, we hashed out parenting, marriage, running a business, school, parents, creativity blocks, booklists, and friendships. She forced me to take breaks and nap, she prayed for my family at each meal, and she gave me a welcome basket full of thoughtful gifts, making me feel like a queen. Did I mention she packed the fridge full of my favorite Trader Joe’s snacks too?
If we could live in the same cal-de-sac or even out on a compound on a few acres, oh how I would love to do life with her. I fell madly in love with her daughters and their songs are now on my iPhone playlists. My Poppy would be besties with these girls, no doubt. And I considered trying to arrange a marriage for Jack.
I’m so thankful for clients like Katy. I felt so loved and so alive. She didn’t pretend to be perfect, but opened up her home and her arms and invited me to watch and do my thing. I left lovely Minnesota hopeful we will be connected for the rest of our lives. I love you Hall Family. Thank you for being you… shine on.
