CELEBRATING WOMEN FRIENDSHIPS

On March 8th we celebrate the International Women's Day and today I am encouraging you to take the opportunity to hug your sisters tight and recognise the influence that you brought into each other's lives, be it through an encouragement towards personal growth and development or a kick on the butt in the direction that leads you towards the gym. Everyone brings something to the table, right?

Since growing up I always looked for diversity within my friendships. The more polar opposite my spiritual friend from my "Cosmopolitan" girlfriend is, the more I was/am able to connect with people and myself. So where am I going with this? You know the habit of association that we get from role playing when we were children? From impersonating the Hogwarts trio at the playground to taking a magazine quiz of which Spice Girl you are is a stretch but so is my circle of friends. What kind of friend are you? Continue to read to find out if your circle is quite similar to mine or if you can recognise yourself in it too.

is your travel companion. She will get you out of your house when you are at your lowest and your highest because life is an adventure and your successes as well as failures should be acknowledged and celebrated. She is always taking solo trips abroad in pursuit of self discovery, she has an appetite for life that becomes contagious when you are around her.

A creative and gentle soul. She embraces the flaws and finds beauty within the imperfections of life.  She speaks with passion, intrigued by the world around her and grasps the best from every situation. Being her friend means accepting the natural cycles of growth a decay; celebrating marks that time and love leave behind.

A yoga enthusiast, a healer, the gipsy spirit. She taught me how to connect with nature and my ego. She lives in the moment, detached from the bothers of life (in a sensible way). She will teach you so much about your body and spirit, how to listen to it, how to love it and take care of it. She brings a sunshine on a rainy day.

Thank you so much for taking your time. May you celebrate your friendships every day.
Lots of love,
