Today I had a long wonderful FaceTime visit with my dear friend Barbel in Albuquerque. After a difficult series of cancer treatments, she is well--and well on her way to her next adventure in The Netherlands! This is the best news I've heard in ages!
Barbel here with her love, Karel, who lives in The Netherlands.
Barbel is a happy, generous, lively, creative soul! She's packing up everything she owns right now, planning a big estate sale before her September move. We talked about her readiness to let go of almost all the beautiful things in her house to start a new life with Karel. She'll be taking only clothes and art and art supplies--but that's okay. She's ready.
Barbel has always been a woman of adventure. She moved here as a young woman from Germany, then made her home in Texas--San Antonio and Alpine--and now New Mexico. And here she goes again around her September birthday. She doesn't know the language yet, but knows the languages of life and love. Her positive attitude and friendliness will cross any other language barriers and she'll have countless new friends by the end of the first year.
These two happy faces say it all!
