I don’t believe in soul mates. Or, I at least don’t believe that most of us end up finding our soul mate while we live out most of our lifetimes.

But I DO believe we travel in purposeful circles around each other, finding and creating meaning and connection and friendship and hardship and joy - all with some kind of lesson attached to each experience. Whatever the thread is that brought you together and binds you together for a time, I hope that it also brings you a story full of rowdy background kids, bad jokes and animals and friends and good food and holidays… and maybe even the occasional nice neighbor, or two.
