A friend indeed...

(Waffles, tons of syrup and milk...I don't understand why I am not losing all the baby weight hahaha)

Best friends are like diamonds, precious and rare

False friends are like leaves, found everywhere.

There are so many things that you can go through your life and never experience. You don't have to have ever eaten brussel sprouts or traveled the world. But I do feel that as a women you should find a soul mate, laugh everyday and have girlfriends. My family is so important to me but I cant describe the bond that you can have with your girlfriends. If you want to know a secret, I don't trust girls who don't have any close girl friends. I feel that if you can not make a connection with another women than you have insecurities that will only hold you back.

As years have gone by I, like many other women I know have had friendships come and go. There are also those relationships that though you may not talk everyday or even every week you know that with one phone call they would be there in a second. No matter how many friendships come and go in your life, each hold a special place in our hearts always.

I can name quite a few life events that I know without a shadow of a doubt that I NEVER would have been able to get through without my friends. Although family is very important no one can take the place of a friend's shoulder. We decide the compatibility of a potential friend usually before we have memorized their name. To some this is called "judging"...oh come on...we all do it!!! But once they have made the cut these are the companions that will be by your side when you need them the most...whether that be a happy time, tragic time, or even when you have made a horrible decision.

Ladies, life is short and we only get one shot to live it to the fullest. Don't let drama, a bad day or even alcohol take away something as special as your girlfriend. Trust me...it's not worth it.

Have a happy day!!!
