Tribute from a Friend....I'm blushing

This is completely self-serving. But I recently discovered a great friend of mine, Lindsey, is doing various tributes to her friends. I was the first.
It takes a lot to make me speechless. This did it.

Here's her blog. And this is my way of saying, "Lindsey, you rock my world, girl. You have honored me. I'm completely undeserving and touched beyond words."

Friends Lindsey and Kristin, with me on the far right, after handing out McCain/Palin envelopes through mazes and mazes of neighborhoods during the election.

A tribute to... Tara Lynn Thompson, blogger extraordinaire! =)

1. Passionate about knowing and teaching TRUTH in every area!
2. Extremely talented and witty writer… and in my opinion, should totally publish her Singularity book… (which I still want a full copy of, by the way!)
3. Sarcastic, deep, funny, and fun!
4. Intelligent, and has Godly wisdom and discernment
5. Cared enough to teach me a lot about healthy eating; introduced me to Whole Foods… (granted, I didn’t do a great job of following through, but I am slowly improving my habits and losing weight now…)

7. Fights against injustice and boldly stands for freedom
8. Has a positive outlook; loves getting to know new people, and believes the best in them

10. Loyal and trustworthy friend
11. Very passionate about exposing lies and finding the truth in politics
12. Dancing queen… seriously amazing dancer and can follow any lead… I love to watch her on the dance floor (more accurately, I want to BE her on the dance floor! lol) …sexy and smooth, and you can tell she really loves it! =)
13. Introduced me to Jason’s Deli… yum!
14. Inspiring, unwavering faith and hope – genuine hope, not Obama-"hope!”

16. Loves brilliant old movies and TV shows, and doesn’t watch anything that mocks or belittles her beliefs and values (ie most of the movies and TV on now)

18. Fabulous dry, sarcastic sense of humor
19. Uniquely beautiful… I love her freckles and perfect naturally curly hair
20. Bold and unintimidated; doesn’t bow to the constant pressure to conform to society or be quiet about her views
21. Eats gluten free and enjoys it… (still love the pic of her looking sad by all the donuts at Krispy Kreme! lol)

23. Generous with her time and money; kind and unselfish.
24. Confident, but not arrogant. Optimistic, but not naïve. Humble and loves peace, but not a pushover!
25. In a word… integrity!
