I was having a fun lunch with two of my girlfriends a couple of days ago, when the conversation turned to spring, winter weight gain and lack of clothes to wear. (And you know what they say about 'nothing to wear,' for men it means 'nothing's clean' and for women it means 'nothing's new!') :-)
In any case, as they both bemoaned not being their best size and shape to wear their nicest clothes, an amazing thing happened. 'If you need suits, I have some really nice ones that are a size too large for me,' said one ' but I can't bear to get rid of them because I paid so much.' Girlfriend two responded 'And I have a couple of designer ones that are just too small. I was going to take to the consignment store but maybe they'll suit you for now.'
And voila! Just like that, the (temporary) problem of 'nothing to wear' was solved! A win/win for both.
It made me think. When we stop, take a minute and share with a girlfriend, how many times do we find that she has just the solution we've been searching for? If you're like me, more times than not! What a gift we are to each other. But ONLY when we step up, say it out loud, and can be honest about what we need - whether it's clothes to wear, a shoulder to cry on or a new nanny.
Feeling overwhelmed? Frustrated? Have some joy to share? Call your girlfriend. You may find that what you have to offer is just what SHE needs! Share the word...
