Female Bonding

Earlier, before I went out (or even knew that I was going out), I got to have some downtime with Lindsey and Lotta, both of whom I've mentioned. Lindsey's on her third visit, Lotta her fourth. Lotta especially didn't know anything about muay thai her first visit, and now they've each one championship belts. I watch them train as much as possible! Lotta is 29, I believe, and from Sweden. She's studying to be a veterinary technician! How wonderful! And Lindsey, as anyone who's been reading this blog knows, is a personal trainer from Canada that is here to fight.

Both are super inspiring to me, as they have achieved goals that I have set for myself, and so I have immense respect for both women, and show it. And both are very encouraging, supportive and genuine with me. I never take spending time with them for granted. We had tea outside the room, on the front porch, and by a stroke of luck, alllll the guys happened to be out and about. It was really a fortunate coincidence, not that I don't adore my male neighbors. Women just need their time together, too, and I'm just so appreciative it was with two inspiring, intelligent and classy women that I can learn from!

Earlier, I spent some time with Laragh from Ireland and Lindsey as well. The female bonding was nice because Laragh moved out of my room and to a different location the day I arrived, so while I "knew" her through my neighbors and could easily see why everybody likes her, I had never sat down with her, really. What a doll she is, and I can see why she is highly adored by all of my neighbors (her former neighbors), as well as most anyone that meets her aquaintance. She is seriously just precious!
