The Funny Thing Is...

Life is busy. On any given day, a woman can face every challenge known to man. It's tough being a mother, wife, daughter, sister, professional, etc...  Moments of pure laughter and joy can seem so foreign in the day to day feelings of frustration, worry, or just plain boredom. 

I thoroughly believe that in order to be a better YOU, one must surround themselves with people that remind them of their true being. It is, in fact, the very essence of friendship that can fill a heart to a swollen state. 

I have read through my posts of yesteryear and there is one group of ladies that have always brought me to that place. We are connected in many different ways and are as opposite as the day is long. We met in college and have made it a priority for 20 years to take time out to reconnect. The constant in all of our lives is each other. 

Tonight, we celebrated Stef's birth and like many times that we are together, laughter filled the space where the mundane used to live. It was an appetizer for our annual girls' weekend that begins two weeks from tomorrow. They are my champions of the #lifeisbiginthelittlechallenge. They remind me that I am never alone, life is worth celebrating and sometimes all it takes is some chips and salsa to make it all worthwhile. 

Day 5:  These Girls

#connected

I encourage all women to find those ladies in your life and make them a priority. You will make yourself a better person in the process.
