Sharing Monday Feel Good Vibes

I am home feeling a little under the weather today with a typical winter lurg but my heart feels very full as I got to have lunch with 6 of my closest girl friends for my Birthday this weekend.

I decided at this lunch to share some words on each of them describing how much I appreciate & value them in my life. We have known each other a long time. They are an incredible cohort of funny, kind, smart women who all bring something different to the table of our discussions, debates, challenges & stories. We shared a whole load of laughter & then some tears once I started to share what I saw as their gifts to my life.

Something that was very noticeable was how incredibly emotional, in a joy sense, we all became during this sharing. The sharing of what gifts someone brings to us & having a positive spotlight shone on us - it's uncomfortable. So I guess receiving is as important as giving. We were all a bit weird about receiving!!

One of the ladies mentioned how she had not seen herself in this way & can be hard on herself - like many of us can! We need to see & better know our gifts & light more!

So the reason for my post? I'd like to encourage all of you to do more of this heartfelt uplifting & sharing between each other. Is there anyone that hasn't heard recently from you how much you value & appreciate them? I highly recommend it. Use the truth, be real & sincere - let your heart do the talking...all my friends are different & I highlighted their uniqueness as the bits I love. I don't think we realise how much we need each other sometimes & having people who have your back are the sunshine to our challenging times. You may not see them every week or even every month - but you know who your crew are. Reach out & let them know just how cool they are - how much light they shine. 💚
