How I met newvanessa

Last weekend, I’d just traveled an hour & a half north to Bellevue, Iowa for a murder mystery weekend at a bed and breakfast on a Mississippi bluff. Hubby and I were hanging out in the guest kitchen, waiting for things to start, when – in blew Vanessa! She is a dynamo, and we immediately hit it off, discovering that we actually live less than a mile away from each other (till she sells her house). Oddly, another couple there had been even closer neighbors when she had lived in the country.

She is energetic, interesting to talk to and very well-traveled. She has a thriving chiropractic practice, and seems to be an exceptionally good boss and loyal friend. Even when going through traumatic life events, she keeps her positive outlook.

Our murder mystery plot cast us as fellow gang members, and I think we’ll remain “partners in crime”! Here’s a shot of the dining room where we were supposed to be solving the mystery, but had more fun just talking!

A story about Oprah Winfrey

I heard her say something one day on her program that truly inspired me about friendship. She said she had a very limited amount of time to spend with friends and that each moment needed to count. So she went about eliminating all the people who were negative and draining as she didn’t need those kind of friendships. That is such a true statement…I think that we have all had those friends that never had a positive thing to say. Since then I have surrounded myself with positive successful people. It has made me a better person and a better friend.
