Sorry Anika I was away for a few days, but just want to cheer you on in taking this chance with a new friend , for being honest with her, and inviting her into your space and healthy yoga together. It is inspiring!

I made a new friend too, accidentally on fb. Her name is Shiloh, such a cool name and uncommon. I thought she was an old friend from school, and we have some mutual friends, so I sent friend request. She wrote back asking how I know her, I realized I didn't know her, but we got to writing back and forth, and now we're going to go hiking together on Friday! We might go to Land of the Medicine Buddha I'm excited and nervous. Already worried what if I flake on her or go depressed that day. I often a avoid making any future plans with people. But she told me that her New Years resolution was to make an effort to make good friends again for herself and her kids. So it's not been easy for her either. I hope I don't go all social anxiety and miss this opportunity to be friends with her. Just need to give this a try right?
