09 Mar My wonderful women friends

My wonderful women friends

Yesterday was International Women’s Day and I wanted to write about how we should uplift each other every day, not just on this day.

As I was writing this piece I was thinking of how blessed I have been in my life with my women friends.
Growing up I was a Tom boy and didn’t have many girlfriends, almost all of my friends were guys.

I remember my girls coming home from school telling me all the drama between them and their girlfriends and asking me how I dealt with it growing up. I laughed and told them when you had guy friends you didn’t have drama, you had competition, and you had egos but no drama.
I guess that is why I feel I can do anything, the reason that I am so competitive is that it was do or die with the boys. They were not cutting you any slack, keep up or get left behind.

As I got older I realized how female friends filled a different part of your soul. They understood you, they had that ear to listen, they felt your pain, and I had a different connection with them, than I did with my guy friends.

They understood about my marriage problems, my child-rearing problems, being a woman, and trying to be a superwoman, even if you were dying, you would die trying rather than admit defeat.
They got it, they knew your journey and they were always there to lift you up.

I now have older friends, and younger friends, I have Black friends, Spanish friends, Muslim friends, and Jewish friends. I am blessed with a melting pot of amazing women in my life.
I have married friends, single friends, single moms, gay friends, and straight friends.

I have had friends for a few months and friends I’ve known all my life. I still talk to and see so many of these people that I’ve known since I was 5 and moved upstate.

See it doesn’t matter because they all bring something to my table. They all fill my heart with their kindness, their humor, and their strength, these are some of the amazing women I am blessed with.

I learned a few years ago that not everyone you grew up with is still who you think they are and I have no time for drama or pettiness so I decided that I have enough great friends and I have cut them loose.

I’ve learned I don’t have to deal with negative, petty, backstabbing “so-called” friends, when I have the real deal in my circle. So bye-bye, there’s the door, don’t let it hit you in the ass on the way out!

I tell my real friends how much I admire them. I tell them they are my heroes, and my role models.
I let them know what an amazing job they are doing, and how I am their biggest cheerleader. Yes, and I always tell them how much I love and appreciate them, all the time.

This is what we are supposed to do, this is what real women do, and this is what a decent human being does.

So today my friends, be thankful if you have a circle of women friends. Be thankful if you can pick up the phone and have someone talk you down from the ledge. If you have great friends then you are truly blessed, and never take that for granted.

I would like to thank all of my girlfriends and my “Soul Sisters” for filling my life with love, laughter, and a lifetime of memories…I love you all!!
