One of the best things in life is to just be ourselves, sharing who we are individually & together as we ride into life's spontaneous adventures togetha. XOXO
Lauren YEE - MOH
The one, the only. Since Laurie appeared in Kim's life, there has been exponentially more fun & uninhibited love & laughter & nice squeshy hugs.

Some days Kim just stares at her in wondrous gratitude for her existence as a lil human minion of such greatness. Cheers to many more moments & memories of spunk & sisterly weirdness to come :)
Anna - A Triple Shot of SunSHINE Please
No coffee needed! Jk. From Seattle area, Anna sometimes seems to operate on love & light alone but in all honesty there is definitely a regular dose of caffeine involved. Kim won the friend lottery by meeting her amongst all the other students cramming for chem class in Odegaard Undergraduate Library. Together they have endured extreme misery & extreme joy & graduated into "adulthood." The more Kim gets to know Anna, the more she feels wowed by her authenticity, internal spark, & genuine kindness & love.
Brittany - Star Sis
Wow this goddess. Brittany has a heart of pure gold with just the right amount of magic & glitter sprinkled on top. Kim met her in middle school & they naturally began to roll fruit under the feet of unsuspecting classmates during lunch hour... freedom at its finest. As Cancer suns, Britt & Kim share an essence of sensitivity & compassion for all. Through ups & downs they continue to bond along their unique paths of coming home to their true selves.
Joanna - Feminine Queen
Joanna & Kim met in 6th grade "smart kid" class & first got to know each other during the shenanigans of dance team. With time they grew closer & Joanna's true nature as a confident, mischievous sovereign being was revealed. Her quirky sense of humor, commitment to divine rest, & an infinite series of pranks + graceful & bold (dance) moves consistently creates an aura that Kim enjoys being around. Forever in love with this amazing human.
Lauren - Lionness
Kim was fortunate to meet this beauteous being of fierce lioness energy in 6th grade. To her delight, Kim quickly discovered that an inner spirit of kindness + dazzling wildness in Lauren upon hanging out after school. These two have been through hell & back as a team roaming the sacred Kumeyaay land (of San Diego) over the years & Kim is so thankful to have found her as a soul sis.
