About two years ago, I set out to make some new friends. I realized that I needed a different kind of friend, but wasn't entirely sure how to go about it - just knew it needed to happen.
I've intentionally spent time with women who I admire & respect - particularly women who can understand the unrelenting responsibility of raising a child while trying to be a loving wife (and not lose your mind).
Yesterday, one of the newer friends that I cherish the most told me something I will never forget. She said, "I am with you - heart & soul." Honestly, I was so blown away that I didn't really have words in the moment. It was the most amazing gift to have someone who I love so dearly say that to me so intentionally & boldly.
You know who you are, and I am with you heart & soul as well . . .
What a beautiful thing! I'm so glad you've found this kind of friend.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate so much your intentional search for the right relationships. That is such a hard and brave thing to do!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, thanks for your comment on my blog. It was an amazing, pleasant surprise. I've heard so much about you that I feel like I know you already.
