You know just what I mean, don’t you?”
Lorraine Bodger, 500 Reasons Why You’re My Best Friend
“You had me at hello.”
No, I’m not going all “Jerry McQuire” on you. I just know how a best friend can tell, by the way you answer the phone, how your day has been. She knows when to call and when to listen. And, hopefully we’re all that kind of best friend to our BFF’s.

“HOPE is a thing with feathers, that perches in the soul & sings the tune without words & never stops at all.”
Emily Dickinson
One of my first trips with my husband included a drive across Texas. It was a sunny, memorable day as a beautiful bird floated gracefully above the road ahead of us.

To this day, we still notice when birds seem to watch ahead for us and often point up and say, “There’s our friend.”
HOPE is that kind of friend. Out of the blue it can Read More »

“You never find yourself until you face the truth.”
Pearl Bailey
I love my friend Judi. She is smart, very sassy, funny and always there for me. She’s beautiful, inside and out. But you might not know that from her photo on her social media bios. I don’t know if she is waiting to lose weight or get a new hair style, if she wants professional make-up or a magic wand of some sort. (And, to be honest, she doesn’t need any of the above!)
She’s much prettier than she was 10+ years ago when her photo was taken. Sure, she Read More »

Daily Inspiration: Sweet Baby James

“The secret of life is enjoying the passage of time.”
(Enjoy ‘the passage of time’ with your friends!)
I love that saying. Actually, I love it so much, and think it is so true, that I put it on my dining room wall (above).
That’s partly why I love the whole concept of female friendship. Passing time with our friends is what life is really about. Spending special moments in each others’ company creates friendships and makes memories.
So, how do you ‘pass your time?’ What are your priorities when it comes to the precious commodity of your time? Read More »
