I met Regenna London in 1995 when I was doing some freelance writing. Didn’t know that, did you? Ha ha… Gotta keep you guessing. At the time she was co-owner of The Source Bookstore in Decatur GA. I interviewed Regenna and her husband for a local Black magazine called The Atlanta Tribune. Writing, metaphysics and wanting to make a difference in the world were topics we both loved. We connected and started hanging out and a true friendship developed.
Fast forward to 2023 and after almost 30 years of friendship we often laugh about our parallel lives. If I’m experiencing something like a job change, she has something very similar happening in that life pillar as well. It doesn’t matter what, relationships, finances, health, it either happens to me first or her first.
We are both air signs, I’m an Aquarian, Regenna is a Gemini, so we often have very engaging conversations about life, purpose, and what we call God winks. God winks are those subtle things you notice when you are paying attention like repeating numbers, like 333 or 222, something significant happening on your mother’s birthday or something lining up when you didn’t think it would. We can have a long conversation about God winks.
Dear, old friends are a staple in my life and I am so grateful. Earlier this year Regenna moved back home to Virginia and she came to town last week to visit family and friends. It has been years since I’ve done a facial, so we decided to treat ourselves. The Elaine Sterling Institute School of Esthetics, Nails and Massage is a beauty school in Atlanta, Georgia and we treated ourselves to a facial, makeup, manicure and pedicure. I used to go to schools for services decades ago, the prices are very reasonable and it helps the students gain confidence and build their skills. I forgot about that until I was speaking with my friend, Terri Nicole a few weeks ago and she mentioned the school. Yay! Doing something new!
