Girlfriends...

“I feel there is something unexplored about women that only a woman can explore.” ~Georgia O’Keefe

In many ways there are similarities between becoming friends and finding romantic love. Just as there is love at first sight, a friendship can began with a blink of an eye or the initial click of the send key. Every woman remembers when she found her girlfriends ~that special moment when she recognizes a friendship will bloom. The common characteristic that sets them apart from our other acquaintances is when we recognize them as mirrors of ourselves.
We’ve known some friends for years meeting and sharing under the same roof and yet have never met, then one day, out of the blue, you find that someone at first meeting and knew deep inside you were old friends. Those unique soulmates come into our lives unexpectedly and unannounced. We understand each other immediately without explanation as if we’ve known each other before we met.

“You meet your friend, your face brightens~you have struck gold.”
