True Friend- Find one, Be one

Ladies, listen up! You need to find yourself a legit, no-smoke-blowin', honest, genuine, loving friend who sees you. Who sees beyond the facade, beyond the words,  beyond the tears. Someone who loves you and knows you, sees your heart. And ladies, you need to be that for someone. There is nothing better in the world, than on a total upside down awful kind of day, receiving love from a woman who sees you, loves you and gets you. I had an emotional, feeling less than enough kind of day and I told my friend. I didnt tell her any specifics because, quite honestly I don't even know what those would have been. I told her I was feeling emotional and sick of feeling like I couldn't be me or the me was not enough or something. The next day, she sent me the text and a picture that I needed.

"Good morning sweet friend. You are such a one of a kind rockstar. I am honored to be your friend. I am not blowing smoke when I say that anytime I am in a discussion of loving people well - I use you as an example. You love people so so we'll. You aren't perfect, but you don't claim to be...and that makes others feel like they have to be either...to be loved by you and loved by Jesus. "

Take the time...

Take time to read. Take time to listen. Take time to process. Take time to breathe. Take time to reflect. Take time to dream. You are worth it. You only have one life, own it.
