Real wisdom is recognizing and accepting
that every experience
is impermanent. With this insight
you will not be overwhelmed by
ups and downs. And when
you are able to maintain an inner
balance, you can choose to act in
ways that will create happiness
for you and for
others. Living each moment happily with an
equanimous mind, you will
surely progress toward the ultimate
goal of liberation from all suffering.

I have known my dear friend Mandi
since I was 19...
We met through a strange array
of events.
Departure from false friends
led us to our friendship today.
There is no one quite like this
girl.
At least anyone I've ever met
so far in life.
When we met we were both in
very low times in our lives.
It's sorta like to we rescued
each other.
As of right now Mandi has been
in Florida
for almost 3 years.
We have remained very close
friends and talk every week.
She just graduated with her
nursing degree.
We have been there for each other
through everything.
Lost of love, pride, tears,
fears....
Distance has never been a block,
just a weight to lift in order
to become stronger.
We have very similar beliefs
pertaining life.
We tie our own belief system
into the one we grew up with
which was Catholicism.
Yet there are so many loose ends
in our knowledge's
of the Christian faith.
Together we have brought about
many theories as well
as many thoughts that are extremely
expressive, solid
and logical to living what we
believe.
What are you gonna do when your
best friend leaves you?
Turn to an expansion of the
mind.
Opening your thoughts to other
means of educating yourself.
mandi and I have both went in
simlar paths to obtain
new knowledge of who we are
etc.
I went into discovering my spirit
guides.
I also went into a bit of astrology.
Where Mandi went into deeper meditation:
Buddhism 
Hinduism 
Shamans 
Together our conversation and understandings have grown deeper and more powerful than ever before.
It's a friendship that started
off in humble states and has built to
a happiness between to souls
that is unexplainable.
We plan on getting outta these
places that we live, for brain draining purposes and move somewhere we
both feel the vibes.
Maybe out West, maybe out East...
Where ever we end it, it's gonna
rock!
We are truly soul sisters...
I love ya Mands!
