I’ve spent the last few weeks with two of my favorite people – Tara and Tara. I don’t really know where to begin describing how much they have meant to me this past year. God knew that I was going to need a double dose of Tara this year. Through thick and thin, the good and the bad, the challenging and the fun, they’ve been there for me with ears ready to listen and hearts filled with compassion.
 
 
Tara B. is absolutely amazing. She’s beautiful in every sense of the
word. Her presence lights up a room and her smile brings joy to those
around her. She’s one of the most kind-hearted and loving people I’ve ever met.
 
   
Tara B. and I are both free spirits, we’ve bonded easily over the beauty and simple joys of life. We can spend hours just walking and talking, asking each other endless questions, and laughing about the most random things.
 

 

 
 
 
Tara S. is truly one of a kind. She has more life and energy than anyone I know. She can entertain a crowd without a moments notice and is always good for laugh. Tara has a rare mix of humor, wisdom, and compassion that radiates in everything she does.
 
   
 
Tara S. and I share a love for life and the adventures it brings. We can find fun in any situation and always manage to have ourselves a little adventure. There is not a dull moment when I’m with Tara. We talk and laugh and then talk and laugh some more.
 
   
 
 
 
The three of us received the most votes for “racer with the most contagious joy” from our fellow squad mates. It’s no wonder we’re friends. I couldn’t have asked for better company this year. Their wisdom and insights have been indispensable and I’ve loved each moment with them. Thank you God for the Taras!!!
