Build a Strong Network of Friends; Secrets of Simplicity

True friends are rare and precious. One can be successful, influential, and seem to have it all but live lonely in a crowded room. After all, what importance do any of those things carry if you have no one to share it with?  We all need friends who love and support us in our life journey. Friends keep us grounded, accountable and stretch our limits when we need it most.

I have been blessed with incredible friends who pick me up when I stumble, encourage me when I can’t see the why of what I do and laugh with me when I want to cry. I treasure them. they are priceless to this girls heart. Some I have had for years and see on a regular basis. Others are from years gone by, but when we reconnect it is as though time is a vapor. Still more are new ones, some I have met through a variety of on-line communities and have also become golden gems in my life.  All need nurturing and all will die without a committment to feed and seed into their lives. If I depended only on what they could give me, the relationship would likely wither and fade away.
