Friendship

Hello Loves,

My friendships have been my foundation in my life.

I’ve been blessed with many friends. I had my best buds in elementary school who were a gang of tomboys. We ruled the monkey bars, swings, and slide. We played tag and red rover out in the field, and our jeans had grass stains at the knees. We didn’t care what clothes we wore or if our hair was brushed, we just wanted to play and get rowdy.

In my teens I had a posse of girlfriends. We threw notes to each other in class, ate lunch at our spot, and had sleepovers on the weekends. We rode our bikes to the lake or to the ocean, went roller skating and ice skating, talked about crushes, and got into a lot of mischief. We are still friends to this day.

By my mid-twenties, the women in my life were my chosen family. My soul family. Some of us had kids, and some of us were aunties. We shared our deep truths, open hearts, and common spirituality. We celebrated our independence, freedom, strength, creativity, passion, path and purpose, and lifted each other up in awe and grace. We took refuge in each others arms through the tornadoes and hurricanes that ran through all of our lives, and we were there to help pick up the pieces that remained.

Now in mid-life, my friendships are scattered around this planet – some close and some far. I’ve been blessed with the kind of friendship that can endure time. That can endure years and years of no communication. But the moment we talk again, it is as if no time has passed. I call these friendships, these women, soul sisters, kindred spirits, twin souls. We are connected through all of eternity. Meeting again and again in other life times/dimensions.

Thank you to all of my sisters.
