Ronda and I bonded over our love of fashion, bold personalities and love of listening to God in silence. She lives by this quote and we often talk about what a contemplative life looks like. Even though we have different belief systems and ways of looking at the world we open up to one another and share our points of views without judgement. I think when friends can be open about their fears and beliefs in life it deepens the friendship. That is what I love about our relationship

Over a year ago I started seeing Patti. Every other Thursday I sat down on her mini couch and discussed things that I never really talked about before. It was awkward to sit there and talk about myself without giving her a chance to divulge, but I was paying so it seemed like an even exchange. The hour flew by as I opened up about my past, my family and reason that I was there today. I sought Patti’s help because I recently came to realization that I was raped by an old boyfriend. It was something I suppressed for many years.
