Girlfriends Fill The Spaces Between The Spaces

Girlfriends Fill The Spaces Between The Spaces

In a recent blog article I asked, “Who would we be without our girlfriends?”

This is how I answer the question in one word:

Incomplete. 

Yes, I know, I complete myself and all that yada yada yada, but as much as I enjoy my own company (and I truly LOVE my alone time), my relationships–the truly meaningful ones–complete me.

My children complete the mother side of me.

My husband completes the romantic/lover side of me.

My mother completes the  “be-the-best-you-can-be” part of me. 

My clients complete the “be-of-service” side of me–the part of me that loves to lift other women up, up, up!

And my girlfriends? They fill in all the gaps, the blanks, the empty spaces… the parts of me that no one else can fill.

The spaces between the spaces that others have filled.

The leftover spaces.

The spaces only a  girlfriend with guts can fill.

When someone takes a cold-hearted swipe at you, it stings. It hurt.

I’m human.

I’m a woman.

(And, I’ll admit, there are still times I feel like a little girl.)

Women need other women. Young moms need to hang out with other moms. Women lawyers benefit from hanging out with women lawyers. And women coaches need to hang out with other women coaches to brainstorm, laugh, disagree, share chocolate, hold each other accountable, and otherwise lift each other up, up, up! 

Whatever you do, make sure you have girlfriends in your life that fill in the empty spaces between the spaces that others have filled. You need that. You deserve that. And if you can’t find those women, come on over HERE and join our “girl band.” It’s filled with women who understand the power of “feminine masterminding” when it comes to living a gutsy glorious life.
