I read a blog last week, Vonna Harpers and she was talking about the wonderful power of friendship, in relation to her writing world. It got me thinking about my own circle of friends and how incredibly amazing they are. I’m lucky…I have an awesome group of girlfriends who support me, laugh with me and when I need to bitch about something they listen. They are all intelligent and run the gamut from stay at home moms, to business owners, to successful sales people to nurses….I could go on and on.
I’ve also managed to snag a select number of cyber writing buddies who are just as amazing, and it was surreal to be able to meet some of those women when I travelled to San Fran for Nationals.

It got me thinking about the power of friendship and how sad it would be if I was on this crazy ride to publication with no one to share it with.

It also made me realize that for the most part I think of my close friends as extended family…so celebrate the many friendships that you’ve managed to accumulate in whatever number of years you’ve been living! And cherish them….sometimes there are bumps in the road and you let go of a friendship, but when it comes back around, it’s just that much sweeter!

What about you? Are your friends just as important as family?
