Dearest Friends,
It's Friendship Friday! A day to celebrate and show appreciation for the wonderful people in our lives. It's also a great opportunity to build our Believe Achieve community, too. We look forward to getting to know more about all of you through our Friendship Friday Question of Day and seeing our friendships bloom into something amazing.
We dedicate today's Friendship Friday post to our good friend, Victoria Czaia.
We first met, Victoria, on Facebook! We still find it incredibly amazing how social media sites, such as FB, bring people and places so close together. We're here in California (US) and Victoria is in China. Miles and Oceans apart haven't kept our friendship from growing!
I remember one late night, while answering emails, Victoria surprisingly sent me a chat message. Since then, we've become a huge part of each other's lives. We soon learned we have many things in common, even our birth dates! Victoria has occasionally joked and said we were Twins! LOL
Some of our shared passion is in personal growth and children. Victoria is a dedicated English teacher in China and an exceptional Life Coach/Motivational Speaker. We were so inspired by her dedication to teaching young people that we wrote about it in our Believe YOU Can Make a Difference Series. (Click Here to read them.) She aspires to open up a school in a remote village in Sri Lanka and along the way, spreads her love and joy to all those who are blessed to know her.
She recently launched her website Your Energy = Success for Life Coaching/Motivational Speaking services and even began a blog. We'd love for all of you to stop by to leave her a comment and read her personal story. You'll find it truly inspiring and a blessing to have her in your life. We are so truly grateful to have her in ours.
Victoria, Thank you so much for your incredible friendship. :-)
Many Blessings....

Hi Roxanne and Hugo .. at the moment I have to say my mother .. I do not know how she has coped with her situation, she is always strong, and still wants to protect me - even in her stroked, bedridden, nil by mouth state .. she has spunk; I've learned that she must have been incredibly strong throughout these past 88 years ..
ReplyDeleteI love my friends and connections I've made - the support and camaraderie I've have from friends through blogging ..
my family and friends from over the years are so important to me too ..
Thank you for reminding me about the question .. my mind is often elsewhere!
All the best - ahve a good week -

True wealth is the amount of real friends one have at the end of day. Any one that can have a hand full of friends at the end of his or her life that is a life well lived. I am so glad FaceBook did bring you guys together.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.

Hugo and Roxanne,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing with us more about Victoria. Her website looks really good. Stay safe in your travels and what you do in those parts of the world.
To answer the question, my mother, after my fathers death when I was young- raised 6 children by herself and did a very good job at it at that. She is a strength to us all. Someone to look up to and always want to be like.
