Today is the birthday eve of my superpower twin. Just over six years ago this amazing individual was the first person that I communicate with at Vivo. She setup my interview for me and helped with all the correspondence as I went from being unsure about leaving my island home to making the leap to being out west.
When I arrived, she helped me to feel welcome. Going on lunch dates at work, taking me to the Stampede grounds for the first time and letting me share in introducing her to poutine. It was a heart-level friendship from the start. Over the course of the last six years we've gotten to grow together and only get closer with the passage of time.
A couple of years ago at a meeting, we had to draw ourselves with our superhero. I drew myself with a giant heart as mine and when we had to share we realized that we'd both drawn the exact same thing. We've been living with love super power twins ever since. Her blogging courage was one of the reasons I believed in myself enough to launch this one and she's been a huge support and inspiration as I've been leaning into shining my light. Doing all of this while being an amazing Mom and wife.
On April 14, this extraordinary human being is turning 31. She's offered up her birthday celebration as the Kind YYC act for this month. The kindness challenge is for individuals to complete an act of kindness between now and the end of April. In honour of her 31st, we're aiming for 31 acts of kindness. Share your acts on social media using #KindYYC. For inspiration you can check out the Kind YYC site for ideas and habits from our November challenge last year.
Alanna, the world has so much more love in it because of you. Enjoy receiving that love back over the next two weeks.
All the love from your pegacorn, care bear friend,
Nicole
