Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!

Some say Chicken Soup is healing, I say spending time with your friends is more healing. No matter what you are dealing with, and we all are dealing with something of some sort, true friendship is more healing than any amount of chicken soup you could consume. True friends, don't let you down, they see you bigger than you see yourself and encourage you to be powerful, even in the face of untimely circumstances.

This weekend I had a girl's weekend with my two best buds. We are all very different yet very much the same. We laughed till we cried, we made a delicious home-cooked meal, we watched funny (Chick flicks of course) movies, drank a great bottle of wine, we shopped and found great bargains, we beaded necklaces, we ate cupcakes, most important we were with each other.

All of us needed the down time, and all of us needed the laughter. Laughter is by far the best therapy one can have (and it is really cheap). Everyone needs to take time out of the busy and hectic (sometimes significant) lives we lead to embrace fun, play and friendship. Never be too busy for your friends, it is the best and most useful therapy one can have.

True friendship is a gift; it is a gift that you give yourself and a gift that keeps on giving. Choose your friends carefully and they will last a life time (better than a hand bag or a pair of shoes). Choosing a great friend is a totally empowering way to live you life. Choosing friends who do not complain, commiserate with your complaints, or leave you dis-empowered is a must! Only choose the friends who empower you to be the greatest you can be. ) Choosing friends is like choosing fine wine, never settle for a cheap substitute. Good friends age better than wine or cheese and they last longer too.

Most importantly, you age better with true friends. You see the mirror, the gap and know where to grow.

Life was not meant to be lived alone. It was meant to surround yourself with people you love and people who love you. Choose wisely.
