Happy November! 🍃

Life is so exciting in that you never know what new things you are going to experience. 😊

I’m excited about a short interview I get to participate in tomorrow.

The daughter of one of my longtime friends is a Girl Scout and needs to do an interview with a musician in order to receive her music patch. 🎶

I’m SO EXCITED to participate in this interview and help her get her patch!

I remember when I was in Girl Scouts. I had a lot of fun selling cookies, doing crafts, and going on camping trips. 🙂 Most of all, I LOVED getting patches! 💚

One song that I remember from my time as a Girl Scout is “Make New Friends.”

I found this really BEAUTIFUL version of the song online:

Lyrics:

Make new friends, but keep the old.
One is silver, the other is gold.

A circle is round, it has no end.
That’s how long, I will be your friend.

A fire burns bright, it warms the heart.
We’ve been friends, from the very start.

You have one hand, I have the other.
Put them together, we have each other.

Silver is precious, gold is too.
I am precious, and so are you.

You help me and I’ll help you
and together we will see it through.

The sky is blue. The Earth is green
I can help to keep it clean

Across the land, Across the sea
Friends forever we will always be

Hearing this song brings back a lot of memories. 💚

It also makes realize that I don’t know most of the words to this song! 🤣 I had NO idea that there were more words than this:

Make new friends, but keep the old.
One is silver, the other is gold.

A circle is round, it has no end.
That’s how long, I will be your friend.

Have you ever heard this song before? Did you know all the words?

The message of this song is SO IMPORTANT! 💛

I have been friends with my longtime friend since I was in high school.

What’s special about the “gold” friends is that you get to see and be a part of the changes that they experience in their life. It’s so special that I get to help out my friend’s daughter with her Scouts’ project.

When I was in high school and my friend and I were having fun in Study Hall, I never thought that one day I would be performing music professionally and that I would be able to use my experiences to help out my friend’s daughter. 🧡

Life is just so exciting the way we can all positively impact each others’ lives! ❤️

Wishing you well! 💙
