I've been spending a lot of time with my girlfriends lately and its got me thinking about how important these relationships are in my life. Often when I was single & frustrated by dating and men I would think about how I could easily live a fulfilled life with just my girlfriends. The kind of women I have in my life often make me feel giddy with delight and blessed to the gils. I treasure every one of the women in my life and without these relationships my life would be empty. I love the spontaneous meet ups, drinks that spill into dinners that spill into late hours of the night just chatting and laughing away. Usually over good food and drink. I love that I have all kinds of girlfriends because lets be honest ladies, we have a lot of parts to us & we need a range of connections to celebrate these identities. Being able to laugh until you fall off your chair, cry until you've reached catharsis and to feel all the best parts of yourself come to the fore, this is what it is to be around good girlfriends. To me my girlfriends are part of my family. I tell them things no one else knows, I am lifted, bonded, inspired and supported by this dynamic network of amazing women.
To all the amazing girlfriends in my life: thank you. I love you. Each and every single one of you.
