I said a little prayer and asked God to give me the courage to contact her. Then I picked up the phone. It rang twice and someone answered. I said, "Hello. My name is Jane Millicah. I don't know if you remember me." I was in tears and thought the person on the other end could tell. Before I said another word, she said, Your's Elizabeth's friend from Voi, Kenya." I said, "Yes"l I asked her what city she was in. She said, "Washington, D.C." I told her that I was also in Washington, D. Cl near Howard University. She asked me for my address.

Ten minutes after my call to Beverly, she was knocking on my door. She came in and I was very happy to see her. I told her about the problems I was going through; she did not have a second thought. We went to her home. The following day we came back to my home, gathered the little belongings that I had and from there on, the rest is history. Beverly was there for me when I needed her. She is the est friend that I have, always and forever a beautiful friend.

Beauty
by Kathy

Wow, beauty-what a captivating word. We capture beauty every time we see the sky, smell a fragrant flower and breathe in that fragrant aroma of flowers.

Beauty can also be found in a well maintained home. A clean refigerator full of wholesome goodies is a beautiful thing.

Beauty is a cheese cake all to yourself or whatever your favorite treat is.

Beauty is also what motivates us to take care of our personal appearance. It can be found in flossing, brushing our teeth, fixing our hair and painting our fingernails and toes (for those who can reach them).

Beauty is your state of mind. There is something exquisite about a polite, friendly and helpful person.

Ultimately, beauty is love. So love yourself and yor world - we as a planet can be beautiful too.

Todavia hoy me parece un mistero. Segui buscando en mi bolso, saque mi agenda de direcciones que solia usar en Kenia y la abri. Justo en la pagina que abri aparecio el numero de telefono de Beverly. Me pare un monento y me prequnte si todavia me recordaria. Dije una pequena oracion y pedi a Dois que me diera el coraje para llamarla. Entonoces, cogi el telefono y la llame. Sono dcos veces y luego alguien respondio. Yo dije: "hola, mi nombre es Jane Millicah. No se si me recuerdas." Estaba sollozando y pense lo que la otra persona podia estar pensando. Antes de que dijera otra palabra, ella dijo, "eres la amiga de Elizabeth de Voi, Kenia". Y yo respondi "si". La pregunte en que ciudad vivia y me dijo en "Washington, D.C.", la conte que tambien estaba alli, cerca de la Universidad Howard. Luego me pidio mi direccion.

A los diez minutos de mi llamada, Beverly ya estaba llamando a mi puerta. Entro y fue estupendo veria. La conte los problemas por los que estaba pasando y no se lo penso dos veces y nos fuimos a su casa. Al dia siguiente regresamos a mi casa, reunimos las pocas pertenencias que tenia y a partir de entonces el resto es historia. Beverly estuvo alli conmigo cuando la necesite. Es la mejor amiga que he tenido y siempre sera una amiga maravillosa.

La belleza
Por Kathy

¡Que maravilla! ,,Belleza>> es una palabra cautivante. Capturamos la belleza cada vez que vemos el cielo, cada vez que olemos una flor fragante, y cada vez que respiramos el perfume de las flores.

La belleza tambien puede encontrarse en una casa bien mantenida. Un frigorifico limpio que esta lleno de comida buena y sana es tambien algo bello.

La belleza es comprarte una torta de queso enteramente para ti misma, o comprarte tu dulce favorito.

La belleza es tambien lo que nos anima a cuidar nuestra apariencia fisica. Se encuentra en el acto de usar el hilo dentifrico, de cepillar los dientes, de arrenglar el cabello, y de pintarse las unas de las manos y de las pies (¡para aquellas entre nostoras que pueden alcanzarlas!)

La belleza se encuentra en tu estado de mente. Hay algo exquisito en una persona que sabe sercortes y amable, y que esta dispuesta a ayudar.

En el fondo, la belleza es el amor . Por eso tienes que amarte a ti misma y amar al mundo, porque todos juntos como planeta podemos ser bellos.
