I wrote in the epigraph of Life Spices From Seasoned Sistahs: Women have always come together in the most trying of times, drawi8ng strength from one another and celebrating our times of triumps.

What would we do withouth the women in our lives?

It is amazing that my sister who is 2 years younger than me and my polar opposite has become one of my best friends. Now that we are both in our 30′s we appreciate the friendship that we can have on top of our sisterly bond. My very best friend in the whole world has been there for me no matter what and vise versa. We do not have to agree with each other and we do not force our opions down the others throat, which I find some of my new age friends tend to do and then get mad when I do not take their advise or handle a situation the way they feel I should. I miss NJ because that is where my best friend and sister are and I have to cry on their shoulder through the phone. My new age friends are here with me in Florida. I constantly find myself asking my best friend was I wrong when I fall out with my new age friends. She will always tell me,”girl you are being sensative” or “girl, you sure you have not hit her yet.” (she knows me, but I try to keep the Mike Tyson in me tame)

Ok, I guess I need to get back to work and answer these calls….wow I loved this post. Relax…Relate…Release

Thanks for all the comments! There is nothing like the power of true friendship.

And Lindsey, one of the best gifts I ever got was you as a friend. I love you girl, thru thick and thin. Thanks for stopping by.

Being a member of this girl posse and knowing this southern diva inside and out…I smiled with pride reading this entry. She’s got Kahunas…and she inspires me daily.

Without my friends–true friends–I’d be lost. Lost in the woods without a compass crumpled in a pile of chigger infested moss crying my eyeballs out. (dramatic, much?)

Who would have thought this write bred, country girl would find such kindred spirits in this ecclectic group of women?

My girls are my girls and I love 'em. We've supported each other through a little bit of everything from deaths to births, marriages to divorces, heartaches and joys, tragedies and triumphs. I am fortunate to have sisters by another mother and we’re down like four flat tires! Wouldn't trade them in for nothing. Ms. Toni's last blog post..Ms Toni gave 5 stars to: The Sweetest Taboo

I love my girlfriends and I agree with Jennifer (who happens to be my sistafriend) that the friends (true friends) I’ve met online have actually been more supportive of me than my offline friends. But I still love them all the same.

I realize my on line friends are more supportive than the ones I have in my everyday life, so if that is included under my girl power THEY ROCK like POP ROCKS (for those who don’t know that is the fizz candy.)

They have helped me through the completion of a manuscript, and now they are my motivational support to do great (not good because goodness comes easy, greatness takes work) un school. I plan to graduate some kind of cum laude. I don’t have to purchase tickets to that occassion, so as many of my friends and family can attend. You all are cordially invited to see me smile big. But that is a long time from now.

I use them as sounding boards and we speak positivity into each other when life seems grim. I love them.

I read something about shoes…I wonder which one of them has a shoe fetish like me.

I so love this! It’s as if you’re saying everything I’ve ever felt. I often joke that my closest friends were my enemies first, therefore making it impossible for us to be enemies again. People think that’s weird, but for us it fits perfectly.

I couldn’t imagine not having my girls support when my heart literally broke every single day for five straight years. Before you can ask for a Kleenex, their wiping your nose, and if you’re ready to go to war, they already got the Vaseline. Have you ever picked up the phone and before you could speak the first word your girl was already telling you that things would be better?

My girlfriends are my ride or die chicks that keep it real, raw and gritty. Even if we’re feuding, (and a lot of times we are) the truth is, what we share is genuine and irreplaceable. I couldn’t imagine my life without them and I don’t want to ever have to do so!
