Women need women

I am so grateful for my girlfriends! They make my world a better place. This week I have been very busy catching up with my girlfriends one on one for special time. I love this time, as the plan is to have a indepth chat about what is happening in our lives whether it be good or bad.

All my sessions with my girlfriends this week have been priceless. After a catch up with an old school friend in the afternoon which was so much fun, I stayed up till 1am last night with another girlfriend chatting about life. We laughed so much that we nearly had toilet issues (I am grateful I have had a Cesarean!).

Then today after catching up with an old girlfriend and loving every minute, I met up with a new friend who had text me for some advice and comfort through a difficult time in her life. We listened to each other and bonded over life experience. This special friend had read my book and felt that I could understand what she is going through with the difficult challenges she is facing in her life. It was a privilege to listen and advise my friend, who I know will make it through.

I am excited to be catching up with my soul sister from LA tomorrow night for dinner. I have known her since I was 13 years old and our friendship has evolved into a deeper level than I could ever imagine.

On Friday night, I am catching up with more wonderful friends who share a common interest in the new movie from the Twilight Series "New Moon". Don't ask! I was roped into reading the books, became addicted and now a fan!

When I sit and chat with my girlfriends uninterrupted and with honest, raw emotions, I feel so blessed that I am surrounded by women who are inspiring through their good times and bad.

Women need women! We can all, at some level, understand what we are going through. To listen with both ears is the best gift you can give your friends.
