We are Darla and Heika. We are self titled renaissance women. If we gave others the chance to "title" us, they may call us flighty women, impulsive women or crazy women. But what do they know? We enjoy a good craft, a weird recipe, a fun work out and from time to time a fashionable running shoe. Call us what you will, we're just trying to live a little.
Heika and I (Darla) have been friends since we we're 15 and way cool. We are so different in some real life areas, but we've never struggled with those differences. We just accept each other and celebrate the important similarities we have. Our differences, for example, are Heika likes carbonated water, I like still. Heika burns easily, I never have. I would tell you the differences in religious and political views, but we never really discuss them, so I'm not sure what they are. I do the "mom thing" and she does the "single-lady-mom-to-her-dog" thing. We're both vegetarians but I'm a hunter and Heika is an animal rights activist. Really though? Small change.
The important similarities are found in our actions, and the overflow of our hearts. We both love the earth and are thankful for the living things in it. We both try new things. We both try to keep it simple yet interesting. We both judge fashion but dont follow it. We both love us some coffee. We both like Target and Costco. We both love books and pets. And we both live healthy, fit lives.
It's hard to say how our friendship has prevailed over all these years, but I am glad it did.
This blog is a way to document our friendship journey. We're going to keep each other posted on what we're up to all while learning more about life and each other. This is our journal for anyone to read. This is our same intentionality and passion, only now we're immortalizing it and sharing with anyone who will listen.
Love,
Darla and Heika
