- Fringe friendships...those we encounter briefly, yet consistently
- Does lack of trust affect making new friends?
- Kelly learns she is using punctuation wrong in her texts!
Challenge for the Week: Start a conversation with someone you don't know...while in a line, at lunch, wherever else you may be wondering this week. Also, be aware when someone starts a conversation with you.
