One of my life philosophies is – What you believe you achieve. What you give you receive. And who you spend your time with you become more like.  What kind of friends do you have?  Are they people who encourage you, love you and support you?

Yesterday I went to wash my clothes and my washing machine didn’t work.  Well, I’ve had some problems with it for a few months so it wasn’t a great surprise and it was 13 years old.  I called on of my salsa girlfriends, Bonnie, to let her know our plans for the Wednesday night Salsa might have to change since I would need to wash clothes. My nephew Byron is graduating with his MBA in Project Management ( I am soooo proud of him) and I’m leaving town on Thursday.

Before I could even finish the story about the washing machine… Bonnie says, “So you coming over to wash your clothes, I’ll be up for awhile.”  It was 9:45pm. Now that is a friend.

A few minutes later I was catching up with my friend LaVonda, who has become a new mother (she has adopted her 7 yr old niece and has her mother living with her) and mentioned the washer and she also offered to have me come over. Now that is a friend.

What kind of friends do you have? These are just two of the wonderful group of friends I have and I am so grateful for them.

As you are living by design? Ask yourself- What kind of friends do I have?  Tell me about some of your FABULOUS FRIENDS.
