Another Beautiful Friend Gone too soon – Starbucks Jenn!!

We never physically met in person, but she is one of my best friends. She lived on the other side of the world, we never hung out for movies, coffee or dining. She is one of my nearest and dearests. How can I say this about a person I have never met? She was my penpal since 2002. She wasn’t just a penpal though. She wrote long heartfelt caring letters. She always showed an interest in my activities and journey. She was present to me. She demonstrated this in my days of financial hardship sending me Stamp vouchers so I didn’t have to buy stamps so I could write longer letters than the old aerogram. She was one of the few friends who always remembered my birthday, Valentine’s Day and Christmas (even though I am slack with everyone on Birthdays), she was truly present to me and from all the Facebook posts, to many of her other friends and networks too. Her family can be so proud of such an amazing human being. Oh why cancer had to claim her. Though she mentioned she had cancer a few years back, she didn’t advise how bad it was. She played it down. Perhaps her penpalling enabled her to forget for a short time she had it. She so often listened to my issues. I hoped that she and her husband would come and visit me in Australia. She had a free room! I am sad humanly I won’t be able to host her. I did know she was sick again from last year, but not to the measure that she was dying. I sent her a couple of cards, thanking her for her kindness, apologising that I may not have been as there for her. Her response? I never thought you were not there for me. Her family, friends, penpals, other networks, country, planet have lost a beautiful soul up to heaven, where I have no doubts she is crowned very high with our Lord and God.

Today I want to offer thanks to God and general gratitude for bringing Jennifer Wimmer Moore into my life. I want to thank Jennifer for her lessons for me to continuously learn from of what a real friend is. If she was so kind and generous to me, imagine how much more she was to those who saw her. I was blessed with her friendship on the other side of the world. Jenn, please order a star bucks coffee for me for our huge reunion in person when I get there!!! Love you..

I love to swim against the tide and ride waves full frontal. I've completed my Certificate IV in Training and Assessment and in the progress of completing my Certificate IV in Work Health and Safety and I like to empower others in my skill set. I also find myself wanting to finally engage in my passion of writing and empowering others for the betterment of society. As a writer (new to blogging) trainer, gardener and photographer I want to use my faith and skills for the common good. I do want to rock the boat to alert those around me to the issues that are not popular in the public arena. I am deeply passionate about human rights from conception to natural death. This includes singles (not by choice) and one-person/solo households. I want to find ways to work with others to raise awareness, and use my skills to better society. I have family, friends and networks from all faith and economic backgrounds and none at all. It’s great to see them all in the same room after a few drinks too! I like to have my glass half full to overflowing. SuperBetter is one strategy I find useful to cope, along with movies like the Blind Side demonstrate how your past doesn’t define your future. I believe this heartily. Nothing relaxes me more than a good dip in the ocean (against the tide is best) and then reading on the beach whilst drying off. My bucket list includes being able to stand up on a surfboard and ride a wave, where I actually surf instead of being surfed!
