Thank you for being a friend...

"A true friend is someone who thinks you are a good egg even though he knows you are slightly cracked" ~ Bernard Meltzer

Isn't that quote the truth?? One of the things I love most about my friends is that they know me for who I truly am and they still love and support me. Even with all of my imperfections, they accept me. And throughout the inevitable ups and downs that life throws our way, it is always easier to endure with a good friend by our side.

Whether its calling to share my latest shopping treasure with them, or because I need a shoulder to cry on, I know they're there. Only my girlfriends can have full conversations with me without every saying a word!! Girlfriends just GET each other! I've been so fortunate in life to have an awesome group of friends, and I'm excited to celebrate that!

In 1999, Kappa Delta Sorority created National Women's Friendship Day, and in 2009 the celebration was expanded to the entire month of September. In 2010, it is expanding to International Women's Friendship Month, the celebration offers all women the opportunity to honor their special friends. (source http://nwfd.kappadelta.org)

So this month I'm excited to be a part of an amazing group of women that is celebrating Friends You Love for the entire month of September. All month long, we will be celebrating and hosting events, contests, reviews, giveaways, and twitter parties all in the name of friendship!! It's going to be a BLAST!! I hope you guys will join in on the friend, maybe snag some prizes and a new friend or two!!

  14. Awww!! I love my friends, too. I also love that you reminded me of The Golden Girls song. I watched that show all the time growing up! "Thank you for being a friend, traveling down the road and back again, your heart is true, you're a pal and a confidante. And if you threw a party, invited everyone everyone you knew, you would see the biggest gift would be from me and the card attached would say- thank you for being a frieeeeeeeeeeend!!!" Thanks, I had to get that out. I see "That One Mom" thought of the same song!
