Sometimes you gain a friend in an unlikely situation.

Recently I did an interview with a lovely woman by the name of Taylor Armstrong. You may have seen her on the hit franchise series, "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills."  When Taylor called me for her interview it was about 7pm EST.  She was in the airport waiting for her plane and I was at home, on a Friday night.  If you have watched Taylor on the show, you see that her smile is truly infectious and her laugh is contagious. 

Taylor and I had an instant connection.  It was as if we were old friends catching up with one another in the midst of two hectic schedules. I must tell you that she is probably one of the most genuine people to have entered my life.  Television portrays a limited character, however, when you have the ability to enter into a journey of friendship with a person, you have a close view of character and integrity. Taylor is a woman who infuses her passion and business together leaving an imprint of compassion.  My kind of girl!

I am a very cautious person when it comes to who I allow in my life.  We have all had experiences where we have allowed people to become close to us, who we should have dealt with at an arms length, experience has taught me to guard my heart for I have learned that hard lesson.  However, every now and again, life surprises you with a little gift in the form of a person.  You never know why a person comes to you when they do.  It almost makes you wonder: are people given a number or a specific time to present themselves to you?  I really don't have the answers to this question.  What I do know is that everyone who is apart of my life at this time is for me to learn from or for me to share.  I welcome it all with open arms.  Thanks Taylor for being apart of my life.
