Circle of Friends

...Sitting in a circle booth at CRAVE restaurant for my birthday with a group of friends.  Looking at them all thinking what a gift it is to have these amazing women as friends...each so unique, different, lovely, and gifted. A friend beside me shared how we are who we are by the people we surround ourselves with...or something to that effect...This idea became the bridge of the song. I sat on my bed that night and out spilled this song along with a melody...A reminder of how so many different people have impacted and helped shape my life in such special ways.  Something I don't want to take for granted!
