Tea Time Tuesday

Saying goodbye to my children as they foray back out into the world of their work and dreams is a melancholy experience for me. I want them to be happy and to flourish in their lives and work, and I will also have a hole in my heart when they leave. They have become my best friends, worthy companions who share memories, dreams, fears, success and failures, and know me and love me.

Over the holidays, I delighted in heart-felt conversations with Joy and Keelia who were home with us to celebrate. Cultivating deep, soul-filling, heart strong friendships with women who call you to your best self is becoming more and more rare. Yet, love, companionship, comfort, understanding, sympathy, “being known and loved” is one of the ways we were created to experience the Love of God in our lives. Love gives us the oxygen we need to breathe in grace through the taxing days of our lives.

Friendship is an imperative part of a healthy life!

I invited the girls to join me in a podcast today because I thought it might be fun for you to hear from them and what they are pursuing in this season of their lives. We have so much fun. And we took a photo on Christmas Day together to document a sweet time together. Enjoy!
