be frie / st nds

Did you ever have one of those heart-shaped necklaces where you had the “be frie” half of it and your best friend had the “st nds” half of it?

I have been blessed with several incredible women in my 32 years who I would give platinum, diamond-studded halves of heart-shaped necklaces to (well, if I had that kind of money anyway). In actuality, what they have brought to my life would make a gorgeous bracelet of vibrantly linked gems.

Thanks to Facebook – the klutzy, more dorky Cupid who everyone made fun of for peeing his pants in archery class – one of those gems is back in my life and being polished off!

It really makes me think about friendships, and what an amazing impact your truest friends can have on your life. Thank you to those women who’ve provided such a good, hard, solid-packed punch as to change my journey forever.
