Maya Angelou, International Friendship Day and You
We’re celebrating friendship – like we always do, but this week had too much girlfriend inspiration to let any pass by you!
It was International Friendship Day and a busy week of girlfriends joining in the Girlfriendology community. So here’s a round up of some of the amazing connections, conversations and confessions of girlfriends on Girlfriendology and our Facebook Fan Page:
Some of our daily inspirational quotes (don’t want you to miss any!):
“Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.” — Leo Buscaglia
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” — Mark Twain
“You gain strength, courage & confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do.” — Eleanor Roosevelt
“When we seek for connection, we restore the world to wholeness. Our seemingly separate lives become meaningful as we discover how truly necessary we are to each other.” — Margaret Wheatley
“If ever there is tomorrow when we’re not together, there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe,
stronger than you seem & smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we’re apart – I’ll always be with you.” — Winnie the Pooh (the official Int’l Friendship Day Ambassador of Friendship)
“What great thing is there for two human souls than to feel that they are joined … to strengthen each other … to be one with each other in silent unspeakable memories.” — Mary Anne Evans (pen name: George Eliot)
“While the right FRIENDS are near us, we feel that all is well. Our everyday life blossoms suddenly into bright possibilities.” Helen Keller
“A FRIEND never defends a husband who gets his wife an electric skillet for her birthday.” Erma Bombeck (-;
