Before I start today's post, I just wanted to once again thank you friends for the outrageously, awesome support you show...I posted my thoughts/beliefs on Love is Love...Regardless a few days ago, not knowing how many people I would "offend" or how many would "walk away" from Happy Soul Project...Instead I got amazing feedback from all over the world- People relating to how I described my belief in "God" & believing as strongly in Equality as I do, which in turn validates my thoughts even more...So, dear friends, thank you for being your awesome selves & sharing your thoughts with me...


Okay...On with what I really want to share with y'all today...


I have been really lucky in life...My brother & I believe we were actually born with horseshoes & tell each other to "shine er up" when we need a bit of luck on our side...It's the Irish in us...


One of the "luckiest" things in my life, besides landing the perfect person for me {minus the fact that he purposely bugs me more than anyone should, can't wipe a kitchen counter if his life depended on it & thinks our bedroom floor is a norm room made for his socks and underwear} & of course my hooligans, has been friendships....


I can't even tell ya how amazing friends throughout my life have been- I'm not about to name names or such- But, considering the fact that I've moved around quite a bit, I can honestly say everywhere I've landed I have been truly blessed with great friendships...And I'm a true believer in thinking people/friends are meant to be in your life for a time, a season or a reason...


Let's take recent friendships I've made for example...I never would have possibly met some of my new gal friend's if Pip didn't have Down syndrome...It really has opened a whole new world in which I'm grateful and excited to see what is born from it...



Meet Pip's new best friend the adorable Lochlan...
His beautiful, big baby lips are out of this world cute...




I know in life, Pip will be opening many a new worlds for me- Introducing me to many new people, discovering things I knew nothing about & growing me as a person...I have to say though, once again I have been lucky & found a few Down syndrome Mumma's to walk this journey with...Lochlan's mum & I are are excited to share in this whole new "Down syndrome world" together, watch Pip & Loch grow up as friends & hit milestones, compare doctor appts & therapy sessions & just have a friend who's kinda walking the same path...Or at the very least, be there to have drinks with, when we've had one hell of a day...


I really do think each friend represents a new world in each of us & I'm so grateful for the worlds I've explored because of those in my life....

Cheers to friendship!!!
