Context: I was recently reflecting on some of the wonderful character traits of the people around me, and how grateful I was to have someone like them as part of my life.
Maybe you know someone like this, or maybe you are this person to your family and friends.
I hope these little ‘character portraits’ inspire you to see more of these traits in others around you, or to cultivate them where you wish there was more.

“Everyone should have a friend like Lorene…”
—someone who expands your mind, fills your heart, and enriches your life in ways you didn’t know were possible. Lorene sees the world in 1080 HD while most people settle for 64-bit, bringing depth, compassion, and clarity to every conversation. She challenges you to grow, even in conflict, because she knows that true connection thrives when people lean into challenges, not away from them.
Lorene is a rare combination of strength and softness. She’s beautiful, graceful, silly, and refreshingly real. She can flip between a deep philosophical discussion and a goofy, bad accent that makes you laugh until your sides hurt. It’s her ability to be both sophisticated and vulnerable that makes her a standout friend.
With Lorene, you don’t just have someone to talk to; you have someone who sees you fully and encourages you to see the world—and yourself—differently. She asks the hard questions, inspires expansive thinking, and creates connections that ripple far beyond your one-on-one relationship. Everyone deserves a Lorene: a friend who lights up your world with curiosity, love, and a reminder that it’s okay to be messy and magnificent all at once.
Happy birthday, Lorene darling—you’re one of a kind and I’m so grateful our adventures led us to each other 💕✨.
