Jill and Cathy had given me a friendship stone necklace just a couple months back and I wore it with pride. I wore it hiking. I wore it with my little black dress. I wore it to a Dodger's game. And when Mother's Day rolled around I passed it on. My mom is one of my best friends - truly. And while it wasn't always this way (I was a difficult teenager!), I am happy that we have so much fun together in my adult life. Sharing this necklace (that I had already sweated all my DNA all over, haha) felt good. As she opened up the giftwrapping, I told her that it was a good representation of her strength - that she has always been as solid as a rock - just like our friendship today. My mom loved the necklace! She's a real earthy girl and found the craftsmanship beautiful. She put it on right then and there and wore it out that eveing to our elegant dinner at the Vessels Club at the Los Alamitos Race Track. I think the act of giving may have even rubbed off some good karma. I won $69 on my first trifecta box! So give!! Give, give, give! You always get back more than you give. |

Hi, My name is Katinka and I live in Belgium, Europe. I gave the friendship stone to my daughter’s boyfriend, Hamish. She met him while studying in Denmark.

| I absolutely love my Friendship Stone from my dear friend from chilldhood. In reality, it is a small item, but it packs a large load in terms of sentiment and love. |
| The Free Gift of Friendship |
| Since the holidays is upon us I have been budgetingwhat to get the special people in my life. I have 3 children and one of them even shares a Birthday in December. December can run our family tight. I was talking with one of my Bible study friends today about the Holidays and what to get friends. |

I first met Cathy when I was 17 years old. It was at that time when I had to leave my father's house, as I wasn't getting along with my stepmother at all. |
| A Sense of Hope |
| My Friendship Stone came at the most needed time and brought with it a sense of hope. I keep the stone beside my bed and every time I look at it, I am reminded to take a moment and think happy thoughts. Thank you for giving me such a powerful gift. |

After so many years of working together, through some serious ups and downs, especially with my health, I have decided it is time for me to go back to my roots, photography. I will look back at this period as an exciting adventure and one that I am so glad I decided to take.
