With each new season I realise just how much I love and appreciate my front row – made up of a few family members and very good friends.

Supportive would be an understatement when it comes to my front row. They have and continue to play a huge role in my life – each one for different reasons.

We’ve shared years of good times, unpleasant times, crazy times. None of which I ever take for granted. These times are always punctuated with the right amount of rolling on the floor kind of laughter or buckets of tears that are enough to fill a river.

Through all the robust discussions, disagreements one thing is certain – the bond and love strengthens and intensifies.

I’ve evolved and continue to do so thanks to my interactions and time well spent with my front row. How else would I determine my likes, pet peeves or best approach to respond to certain situations.

I’ve had the most trying time over the last few weeks.
It was nasty.
It was unpleasant.
It was like those I just want to scream into a pillow and pull my hair kinda experiences.

But…

I am still standing and much stronger must just add due to God’s grace and the unconditional love from my front row.

As I begin to close that book and start on a fresh, clean, crisp page I look forward to creating and sharing many more memories with my front row; the kind that will last a lifetime. The kind that will find us bursting out into fits of laughter as we look back.

Today, ask yourself: who is in my front row? As you reflect I hope you will realise just how much they mean to you.

Thank you for taking the time to read and enjoy one of my favourite classics below.

Stay fabulous and favoured x

Simply the best…

Today I’d like to pay tribute to an amazing young man; a one in a million.

He is wise beyond his years and has played an instrumental role in my life. This young man is none other than my dearest brother, Jarryd Anthony Kast.

What I appreciate the most about him is his:
1. Staunch belief in God

2. Unwavering faith

3. Kindness and compassion

4. Selflessness

5. Integrity and reliability

6. Honesty and strength

7. Wisdom – my voice of reason

8. Courage even in the face of challenges

9. Concern about the well-being of family and total strangers

10. Intelligence and hunger to succeed

11. Passion for life

12. Laugh

13. Sense of humour

14. Patience… even when I choose not to understand

15. Perseverance and determination

16. Ability to reach out to complete strangers

17. Warmth and sincerity

18. Never takes life, family for granted

19. Undeniably BIG heart

20. Sensitivity

21. Forthright approach

No words could possibly describe the appreciation and gratitude I have. Jarryd is without a doubt my best friend.

Thanks for taking the time to read.

The gift of friendship…

Friends make the world a better place. Where would we be without the comfort and security of knowing that someone is always in our corner. After my family, I could never imagine my life without the unconditional love and support of my friends.

I can count them on one hand but I wouldn’t have it any other way.

For my part, I choose to be fiercely loyal to a set of values based on inherent traits that include honesty, trust, positivity, sincerity, authenticity, reliability, empathy. When I was younger I allowed everyone into my space, but as I mature that has changed… for various reasons.

We hurt. We heal. We grow.

I guess what makes my friendships (or any other) stand the test of time is the fact that we have an unspoken rule of always being there for each other. Not distance, nor time can diminish that bond.

Truly. Deeply. Grateful.

I value and appreciate my friends (they know who they are) more than words can ever express. I’m overly protective and strive to do whatever I can to make any threatening grey skies blue; and I know they do the same for me. Because that’s what friends are for…

Thanks for taking the time to read.

Stay favoured and fabulous x
