So much had happened that I felt the need to take notes! Since we last saw each other, they’d moved multiple times, changed jobs, and traveled extensively. They’d even started FOUR new businesses, like Catalyst Coaching and Mentoring and Loveless LLC. And those are just a few highlights!
As we talked, memories of our time together floated through my mind. I was reminded of their kindness, humor, many talents, and their sweet extended family. It was wonderful listening to their South Carolina accents again. I adored hearing about their darling daughter at this stage, and the adventures they’d been on. I could easily talk with either of them for hours.
When Keiji and I met them on location in Sedona for family photos and saw their daughter again, she was utterly enchanting. I remember her as if it were yesterday, but she could hardly have remembered me after all this time. Nevertheless, she literally welcomed us with open arms. Her next move was to invite us to ice cream, which is the way to my heart, BTW. 😉 That’s just how adorable and engaging she is!
During this Sedona family portrait session update, we were accompanied by Blue Herons, jumping fish, and the scent of lilacs wafting on the breeze. As we walked, she charmed me with stories, cracking me up. She even enthralled us all with a heartfelt rendition of “You Are My Sunshine.“
This bright, compassionate girl is an original. She’s going places. I just hope she remembers me when she gets there because she and her parents have a special place in my heart.
