Kelly
I met Kelly in the 7th grade. She will gladly tell you the story about how we first met. Our mutual friend Edna invited her to our lunch table. She did not care that she could not understand our spanish rants; she was just so happy she made new friends. Her wide eyed look and crazy laugh would fuel our friendship. She soon became our "Guera". We remained friends through middle school and high school. After high school we both married into the same family but rarely saw each other due to life's busy schedule. We would see each other at the occasional family event and our connection was that of old friends. We had the ability to pick up right where we left off...no matter the time we spent apart.
Facebook was really what kept us in touch. I saw the boys grow-up and then I saw Kelly loose weight. She would post pictures of good healthy eats, race events, before and afters. As I sat at home studying I thought, "I am next. I will be like Kelly". - I never reached out to Kelly for advice. She just fueled me in a whole other way. Her big smile and positive outlook was one I already had a deep connection with and I knew I just had to get on board. I would surprise her!
Kelly soon started to comment on my before and after pictures and took notice of the changes I was making. Before I knew it she was my biggest cheerleader. My Guera and I were connected again and a year after mutual facebook stalking we connected "LIVE". The screeching and high-pitched screams of yesteryear were a daily occurrence again! YAY!
Kelly is an active part of my life. She is game for any activity and we set up goals together regularly. We created Los Game Changers on that 01/01/15 hike with Lola. We have a one for all attitude and remain positive about the changes we want to make in our lives.
Gracias mi Guera for being a part of my inspiration cycle. Thank you for your spiritual ways and for always shining a positive light. You were key in my journey. Your cheers pushed me when I thought I would fail and YES GIRL, your cheers were so loud I could hear them through FB!!! We have an unspeakable connection framed with LOVE. te AMO mi dulce Guera.
