Friendship. How has a friend changed you or your perspective on the world this year? Was this change gradual, or a sudden burst? (Author: Martha Mihalick)
I had the great fortune of Alison Reder in my 2010. She can be quite a high-energy woman when she wants to be but her strength, patience, wit and humor were a tremendous asset as I became a mother and wrestled with my sense of identity away from the home and within. Her friendship to me has been unconditional and I only hope she feels it is reciprocated.
