Coincidence? Nope.

Today is a unique and remarkable day! It is one of five days a year when two of our family members share a birthday. That might sound like coincidence, but I don't think it is. I say that because when takinge a closer look at the pairings of individuals who were born on the same day, it's clear to me that these duos were meant to have this special bond.

Take these gals, for instance.


They are two of my dearly treasured sisters, Melissa and Audrey, and today is their day. I love these women fiercely. They are talented, funny, sassy {hello leopard purse and oversized shades}, good listeners, devoted wives & mothers, and true and constant friends.
My relationship with each of them grows in ways I never imagined as we spend more time together and I find great joy in having them in my life. For a girl who grew up not knowing what it was like to have a sister, I have been overly blessed as an adult.

Happy Birthday, Sisters!

Happy Birthday to your beautiful sisters! I only know (and adore) one of these lovely sisters, and she is truly fabulous inside and out. And I know that one of her best b-day presents this year (or ever)is having a sister like you!!

In the wise words of Alice Walker, "Is solace anywhere more comforting than in the arms of a sister?"
