Friends for a reason, a season or a lifetime

Its still astounds me how just when I think I have a great group of supportive friends that share the same values and respect for friendship that I do, along comes a new friend who feels like she has been there all my life. To be honest, I really dont know how I got by so far without her.

This special friend has been in my life for a few years, however, in the past year she has really been my shining star. I have found myself at her kitchen table many times answering her questions in an honest and uncensored way. There are only a few people who you really can do this with.

My friend always feeds and waters me with gourmet dishes (which we share a true passion for) and has the best set of listening ears. I often think why she did not appear when I was working through all my "stuff" after Kye was born. She would have been the perfect person to pull me through with her wisdom. And then I realised, I had to pull myself through the "stuff" to really own my feelings, my issues and my outcome.

On reflection, I am truly grateful for my friend being in my life now and forever. She is the person who gently encourages me to keep the light burning for Miracle Beginnings and to believe in myself. She makes me a better person and I am so thankful for her energy, her laughter, her wisdom and her ears.

Life is full of lessons.....

Just when you think you have a handle on life - another curve ball will hit you straight between the eyes!

This week I have learnt many lessons. It would have been nice to spread them all out over the next month, but no, all at once.

What I have learnt from these past few days, is to always follow your gut instinct. If you make a choice that goes against what others think, the world will not fall apart. It may feel like it will for a moment, but with the next breath, the next hour, the next day. it will be ok.

As a mother, I feel I am constantly being watched by my three little monkeys. They are always watching my reactions to good and bad situations. They make me accountable.

Hopefully, the decisions I have made this week will slowly take its turn. I have learnt my lessons, loud and clear. There is no need for any repetition!
