As women, I think we have forgotten the power of having amazing friends in your corner. In a world where independent living, making it on your own and “no new friends” has reigned supreme, we underestimate the true meaning of authentic friendships. I use to be one of those women who said “I don’t have a lot of female friends.”, and it was true. Many of my friends were guys (platonic) and my reasoning for few girlfriends either had to do with girls being too thirsty, too drama filled or too ... View the Post

Nothing created by God is ever meaningless, and how can you get something out of your system when you’re, in fact, putting it in there? I wonder. Anyway, here are a few lessons that I have personally ... View the Post
Find Your Why
