365 Project Day 303: For Sheryl

I have a dear friend who adores food photography. When I was photographing these lovely pomegranates, I could not help but think about her. She loves to cook and set a pretty table. Really, anything that presents food in a beautiful way makes her heart go pitter patter. So, this blog is for her.  She is my New Zealand friend. We have never met in person, but I am very fond of her. We met in a online community when I was looking for help creating my website. She messaged me and told me she was a designer and that she could help me. That was five years ago, and she has been handling my web image since then, as well as designing my logos and business cards. She designed this blog and hosts it for me in NZ. I feel like she knows me and I know her, all the way across the world. Literally.

There is another reason I am dedicating this blog to her. Sheryl is battling breast cancer right now. She is enduring the effects of chemotherapy and has lost her hair. Throughout all of this she has kept her sense of humor and continued to find ways to be creative and happy. She is a brave and beautiful woman. I admire her deeply.

Please pray for my friend Sheryl. She needs God’s healing and strength to continue her battle. I want to keep her for a long time.

You can find her design business on the web at http://www.huiadesign.com. She is amazing at what she does.

Proverbs 11:25 ~”A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.”
