A diamond cutter seeks to enhance the brilliance and fire of each stone.
A phenomenal friend will uncover your beauty and potential allowing your brilliance to shine.
I have an outrageously wonderful collection of people in my life.
Supportive Family and Incredible Friends.
Friends, people I have chosen to share part of my life with, chosen to spend time with, to care for, to celebrate with, to cry with.
Companions who entered my life when our paths crossed, when we shared a common interest.
My friendships are an eclectic mix.
Each and every one of my friends has the ability to break open a piece of my outer crust exposing the diamond within. Allowing a greater part of me to shine.
It is their own brilliance that shines a torch into my inner most areas, opening me up to possibilities
Generous and thoughtful friends who demonstrate enormous compassion and encourage me to dig a little deeper
Adventurous and brave friends, who by her their own actions challenge me to move outside my comfort zone
Creative friends who ignite my imagination
Brave friends inspiring me to take risks.

Friends full of wisdom exposing me to new ways of thinking
Caring thoughtful friends, treasuring the earth and showing me how to rejoice in natures offerings
Friends who stimulate and support me.
Friends opening me up and vibrantly colouring my life.
Incredible friendships that break me open empowering me to sparkle more brilliantly.

Italia you shine beautifully and brilliantly.
I feel like the really rough diamond at times. However I loved your way of seeing things Karen .
We all feel rough at times, I certainly do. It is the people around me who help polish and allow me to shine, people just like you Mum
