I empower myself when i surround myself with women with energy, spirituality, laughter, love, strength, support and unwavering acceptance.
I am so lucky to have had some women come into my life - some in the last few months, some in the last year, and some my whole life, who have just added to my every day existence.
I will not name them, but will tell you about each one. I dont wish to embarrass anyone. No particular order . . . . . prize for who guesses them all in order lol.
Lady #1, Well, this one I have known the longest - her inner strength, her ability to deal with assholes exes, job issues and a child with special needs - and 2 dumbass dogs - i guess that narrows it down a bit. She is the first person to offer the last penny in her bank account, the first to drive to you in an emergency, the first to tell you to believe in yourself. She is someone i look up to, for her resilience, her love for her children and her open arms to all who need a hug. She is a woman i am very proud of, and love very much.
Lady #2 I have know for about 1.5 years now; yet when we first met, we both looked at each other and said "F**k, I know you from somewhere", but we had never met before. Kindred souls in a previous life. In fact, i would swear that most of these women and I were together before. I tell her like i see, she tells me right back - then we swear at each other. I think we were destined to meet at this point in our lives - she came along just as i was re-energizing myself and at times became my 'generator'. I can talk to her about anything - and she can do the same. For some reason, we were meant to meet.
Lady #3 and i apparently fought together in a war in a previous life - which i find hard to believe as she would never hurt a fly. She is kind, patient, endearing, loving and finally happy in her life. We have shared many a cup of tea on my couch, getting through her relationship struggles, parents deaths, which seems fitting as i was told we were sisters in yet another life. They say opposites attract, well we sure do. For some reason we hit it off. But i didnt realize how much until when her dad died, i sent her a poem - and at his funeral she said "my best friend sent me this" - i love this girl, and will protect her at all costs (as i apparentely did in the war we fought).
Lady #4 - when i first met her, i thought, 'gosh she talks a lot' LOL; and didnt really connect. didnt really take the time to get to know her. But one day we just started chatting and she is one of the warmest, honest, innocent, loving, caring ladies i know. She opens her heart and her home to you; she appreciates the small things in life; we laugh, we giggle, we bitch about men! She adds a bright spark to my life. I look forward to my times with her.
Lady #5 - cant believe it has been 10 years since i met her. We lost contact for a good 8 of them, but started to chat again over bmx racing. For some reason, again, a huge connection was made. Laughter, sharing, stories, secret sayings - all are a huge part of why this lady has become so important to me. I look forward to her hugs; i love her random "i am a control freak" yells across the room. I love the fact she fits right in with our group - she has become a wonderful friend who I treasure.
Lady #6 - the one who i freak out sometimes. The one who giggles with me in the garage; who shares her stories and her life with me; the one who will just out of the blue send me a message saying 'i miss you'. We dont get to see each other enough, but when we do it is like we just chatted yesterday - she is the sort of person that will be there with me until the end, as i feel all of these ladies are. Her laughter is contagious, and her gifts are just starting to show - and we will all help her with them. She is a positive person in my life, I value her.
Lady #7 - i miss this one a lot. In the toughest time of my life, she was there for me. She told me how it was, what i would feel, how i would act, that i needed help. Even though at the time it may have felt like i wasnt listening - i was. She is a wonderful mother, and has a wonderful husband - and she works in a profession that i could never do . She amazes me with her compassion, love and caring for those in the last stages of their lives. She makes me very honoured to call her my friend. She is one of a kind.
Lady #8 - the other momma in my life. Not a momma to me, but a momma to every child that ever walked into our bmx track. She loves each and every kid as one of her own. She cares about everyone, would do anything ever asked, would do it with a smile. Will rescue dumbasses that drain their mommys car battery; would reach out and just grab your hand, just because she felt like you needed it; she is so in tune with me, and some say we look like sisters (if i was 50 lbs lighter and 6 inches shorter :) She is my other sister; my sunshine on a cloudy day; my personal counsellor when things were tough.
Gosh, there are so many other ladies that i have in my life, that i could add to this list, and i will add more tomorrow. But i just want you all to know that you are my energy, my empowerment, my power and my strength - i look forward to the times i spend with you all . . . you make my life so special. Thank you all for who you are.
