Cheska celebrated her birthday in style at a newly opened gem in our neighborhood—One World Deli. It’s more than just a supermarket; it’s a thoughtfully curated deli and restaurant all rolled into one.
Since we were quite a big group, the restaurant asked us to place our orders ahead of time. Thankfully, I already had a favorite in mind—my daughter has treated me there for Mother’s Day during their soft opening. A thoughtful touch: Cheska sent us the menu without the prices, so we could simply enjoy choosing.
As always, our reunions are a whirlwind of joy—warm hugs, nonstop laughter, and endless photo-taking. Catching up is never dull when you’re with dear friends who’ve shared so much of life
Like today, we found ourselves already planning our next get-together: a breakfast hosted by Tess. Coordinating schedules can be tricky—especially since a few of us are frequent travelers—but we always try to make it work for all ten of us.
What started as a simple walking group—committed to reaching 10,000 steps a day—has grown into something much deeper. These days, only 3 to 5 of us still keep up the daily walks…
…while others are caught up with mom duties or busy schedules. Some manage evening walks instead, when time allows. Yet despite our varied routines, the bond remains strong.
Our group chat keeps everyone in the loop, and living in the same neighborhood has created a real sense of connection. There’s comfort in knowing that someone is always just a few doors—or a quick message—away.
Today’s celebration left us all feeling inspired and grateful. Juliet shared a quote that perfectly captures the heart of our friendship, and I wanted to include it here:
“Pray for your friends, pray for friendships which will not just stay for a season but is committed to stay for a lifetime.” — Joena San Diego.
This friendship is a true blessing—and gatherings like this remind us just how lucky we are.
