Friendship

• “One friend in a storm is worth more than a thousand friends in sunshine.” —Matshona Dhliwayo

• “Friendship isn’t about whom you have known the longest… it’s about who came, and never left your side.” —Mikaela Tiu

Let’s face it. Friendships are hard. They can inspire, provoke, and frustrate you simultaneously. These relationships often present a mixed bag of emotions because no one is perfect. People, in general, are flawed. It’s the people who stand by your side, overlooking those flaws, that enrich our lives forever.

Life has a way of propelling us forward. We bask joyously in today’s sunshine and cry hysterically in the following day’s rain. But much like the game of baseball, life’s curveballs evoke the need to either adapt to the curve or strike out. More often than not, my personal experience of adaptation to the curves hinged on influential words of wisdom from deep-rooted friendships. A kinship etched in dedication to the other’s success, survival, and happiness. Such inspirational friendship stories fill our world daily.

There’s much more “girl talk” inspiration on the way.

In the Sisters Seven series, such is the camaraderie among the “sisters.” Women who exemplify the age-old Musketeer adage “all for one and one for all.”
