It really is that simple!

I can honestly say that I have learnt alot about myself over the past 6-12 months, learnt more about what I really stand for, my values, my beliefs, my likes and dislikes and most of all, how emotionally attached to them I really am.


Finally, at the age I am now, and with the amazing people I have in my circle of friends, I feel so empowered to make choices regarding lifestyle and friendships, without fear of judgement, criticism or ridicule. I have 'weeded out the garden' so to speak, and it feels FABULOUS!

I'm fortunate enough to have friendships I made as a teenager, and although our paths have had some distance between them, they have never lead in completely different directions.
My friends are the best. We can laugh, cry and celebrate all the memories that have brought us to this point today and get excited about the plans we each make for the future.

Now all in our 30's, we have grown into successful, mature and confident women - each with our own views, strengths and goals, and each as supportive as the next, there whenever we need her :)

To my friends - thank you. THANK YOU! Thank you for being honest with me, for NEVER judging me or the decisions I have made in my life, THANK YOU for celebrating my victories and getting excited over my ideas, THANK YOU for being there - being POSITIVE, being MATURE, being YOURSELVES.

And most of all - thank you for being amazing people who know right from wrong and act with PURE and LOVING intentions toward each other. As we grow older and wiser, it is never more evident how important good friends are - to laugh with, to cry with, celebrate milestones with, enjoy the quiet times, laugh at the old times......not just drink and party with!


This quote, taken from the website marcandangel.com is a perfect fit for the way I'm feeling -

Let go of needless drama and those who create it. – Never create unnecessary drama, and don’t surround yourself with those who do.  Choose friends who you are proud to know, people you admire, who love and respect you – people who make your day a little brighter simply by being in it.  Don’t walk away from negative people, RUN!  Life is too short to spend time with people who suck the happiness out of you.


It really is that simple.
