Safe Harbor

Safe Harbor tells stories of friendships that span distance, time, age, and background. Friendships that enriched lives, and sometimes transformed them, friendships that stepped up when least expected and most needed.

A simple act of kindness during a time of loss inspired the author to reflect on friends living time zones away. She could no longer see or touch them. Shared coffee and meals and travel adventures were just memories. Yet they continued to be part of each other's lives. She wrote letters to five of them, telling them why she valued their friendship. Then she asked other people about their friends.

Read this to be reminded of the friends in your own life, then give a copy to a friend with your hand-written note of thanks for what they mean to you.
