Friends
Friends like you are hard to find.
In a lifetime, you get only a
few. And when you find them,
you always know them by sight
and heart alone. And when you
find them, you always grow a
little bit taller in your soul. And
when you find them, you also
know that as the years come
and as the years go by...
you have been blessed just to
know them. Thus blessed am I,
and lucky have I been...
to know a friend like you.

Girls Who Change the World
There are girls who make things better…
simply by showing up. There are girls who
make things happen. There are girls who make
their way. There are girls who make a
difference. And girls who make us smile.
There are girls who do not make excuses.
Girls who cannot be replaced. There are
girls of wit and wisdom who—through
strength and courage—make it through.

There are girls who change the world every day…
…girls like you.
