Make Time for Your Girlfriends!

We are all busy in life and use the excuse- "I have no time!"  Our schedules are filled with work, school, kids activities, family obligations, birthday parties, and often times we're stuck in our daily routines.  The days fly by, then the weeks go by and before you know it, exhaustion comes over us all.  A much needed pause is realized when we need to exhale.  Just as it is important to have alone time...It's also important to spend time with our girlfriends every so often. It's important to spend time with our girlfriends every so often. 
Girlfriends openly share what's going on in their lives, understand one another and can relate to each other. My girlfriends and I have the best laughs...bursting out in laughter for silly things, laughing til our bellies hurt or laughing til we cry.  Spending time with them reduces any stress or any worries that were brewing inside. This is why it's important to make time for your girlfriends and to be there for each other. Real friendships celebrate life- all the joys and the sorrows, the love and the hardships. I am fortunate to have a true sisterhood with more than 35 years together. 

How did we celebrate our successes this year?  Us ladies took a few days from our busy schedules to have some serious quality time! My girlfriends booked a trip to Las Vegas months in advance to watch New Kids on the Block in concert.  Only 10 days before the trip, I just couldn't miss out and joined them!  As soon as we got there, we received "VIP treatment" at restaurants, clubs, bars, pool parties, and shows. Our husbands were ok when we called them and our kids were doing fine without us for a few days. Laughter, tears, the sun and crazy fun - it's definitely a trip we'll all remember.

So make plans to go out for breakfast, meet for coffee or go out for drinks and dance the night away!  Just be sure to make time for your girlfriends!

Love you so much, ladies...and love us together
