At Target looking homeless a ginger asked me, if I like hot wings and he knows a place with the best ranch. This is how I die and end up on 2020 at least I know I have a WAP and I can bring Ed Sheeran and Prince Harry’s cousins to my yard!

I’m that woman who will be the long haul. The one that will walk through the fire just to see you safe. I’m that one person you can always count on to stay at your side even when you’re wrong. I’ll be honest and forthcoming about everything even when it shows my weaknesses. I am the kind that will tell you what you need to hear and not what you want. When I say I’m yours it’s not just words it’s my bond. If I give you my love, know it’s without a price. I will never take more than I give or ask of more than I deserve. I will be humble when others are proud and gracious when others are rude. Never cruel, misleading, prejudice or judgmental. I am that woman you will always know to have your back. That is what you got when you kissed me and said I love you.

S.A.O (I’m That Woman)

I should have been more kind. That is something a person will never regret. You will never say to yourself when you are old, ‘Ah, I wish I was not good to that person.’ You will never think that.

Many of us worry about being ‘perfect’ which doesn’t exist. We think we’re seeking to be ‘good enough’ but when we keep flogging ourselves about not measuring up, it means we’re actually not even recognising when we’re more than good enough. The person who embraces themselves and doesn’t strive for ideals that don’t exist and is self-forgiving and looking for growth in a positive way, ends up being far happier than the person obsessed with being the ‘perfect version of good enough’, blaming themselves for everything (because they’re all or nothing) and focusing negatively on themselves.

Here’s the truth: friendships between women are often the deepest and most profound love stories, but they are often discussed as if they are ancillary, “bonus” relationships to the truly important ones. Women’s friendships outlast jobs, parents, husbands, boyfriends, lovers, and sometimes children…it’s possible to transcend the limits of your skin in a friendship…This kind of friendship is not a frivolous connection, a supplementary relationship to the ones we’re taught and told are primary – spouses, children, parents. It is love…Support, salvation, transformation, life: this is what women give to one another when they are true friends, soul friends

In case you’re new here, I read a ton of books. Reading is what I do best and I have impeccable taste, so please trust me: you need to go out right now and get Rufi Thorpe’s The Girls from Corona del Mar. One of my favorites from 2014, it tells the story of Lorrie Ann and Mia, two...

"Confession: I have read Pride and Prejudice about 200 times. I get lost in the language–words like ‘thither’, ‘mischance’, ‘felicity’. I’m always in agony over whether Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy are really going to get together. Read it – I know you’ll love it!”
