Girl

This week I've been on the receiving end of a lot of well wishes from some of my girlfriends. I didn't ask for it and I didn't put out an SOS. In fact, I wasn't even having conversations with these ladies, they just happened to send me a text message or a g-chat in the middle of my day or late at night. What makes these messages so special is that my girls didn't even know that I've been having a really tough week. I'm a little bit like a sponge so I absorb the stressors in the environment around me. Let's just say there was a lot of stress and anxiety every where I went this week. Big time at the house, with work events, and with family. Even my trip to NYC for the Tribeca Film Festival was really distracted. (Tribeca was awesome!! But I wish I could have enjoyed it more fully).

This evening I was video surfing on youtube and ended up in flashback mode listening to some old Destiny's Child...dangerous I know...and I found this one. I want to really remember and appreciate all the girlfriends who have looked out for me over recent months and years. As I gather myself for the next few days and weeks my thoughts turn toward some of those same girls in my life who are going through some challenges. I might not have called you out on it, but that doesn't mean my "girl" intuition isn't telling me that you need some help. Just like you got me, I got you. So keep your head up.




Right now I've got my eyes on the prize and am looking forward to two weekends from now when I'm on the beach in Charleston eating shrimp n grits with a few of my housemates. But until then...

The best is yet to come,
