friendship

C.S Lewis got it right: friendship is born when one person says to another: "What! You too? I thought I was the only one!"

Tonight We're Gonna Party Like It's 1899
Introduction I really am not sure how to present this. My wonderful friend Krista wanted to have a party to blow away the cobwebs of January and February, in the middle of March at the Prohibition Bar in Newcastle.

Michael
Michael my best friend back then in school. In the corridors of our secondary school, amidst the chatter and laughter of adolescence, there stood a figure that would forever leave an indelible mark on my heart—Michael. He wasn't just a friend; he was a beacon of light in the tumultuous sea of teenage uncertainty, a steadfast companion who stood by my side through thick and thin.

Embracing Wings: A Journey of Strength
Title: Embracing Wings: A Journey of Strength Chapter 1: The Beginning of the Storm In the small town of Willow Creek, where the sun-kissed fields met the whispering woods, lived a girl named Sarah. Sarah was a bright spark in a world often dimmed by ignorance and cruelty, but she was different—not because of her disability, but because of her unwavering spirit that refused to be defined by it.

The Ring In The
She was wearing a red two-piece suit. I was wearing a velvety turquoise dress. I had probably bought it from the department store located down the street. Between us, we held the embossed chestnut brown jewelry box. It contained the ring. We had been talking about the ring for several months. A lady came to speak with us about it. We glared at the ring. We had our finger measurements taken. We looked at the price. I realized that I wouldn’t be able to afford this.

It Used To Be A Compliment
It had started as a lovely evening with friends. Dinner at a hip joint, followed by frozen yogurt on a starry night. I started recounting a party of theirs I’d attended, and I asked Danny how he came to be part of that particular circle.

The Ripple Effect: How I Accidentally Created a Positive Epidemic
It started with a cup of coffee. I was having a rough Monday morning as I rushed into my usual coffee shop, frazzled and already dreading the busy week ahead. As I scrambled to get my wallet out, the barista gave me a knowing smile and said, “It’s on me today. It looks like you could use a pick-me-up.”

A Sisterhood of Dragons
The dragon symbolizes strength, power, and wisdom. Those qualities apply to many women in our lives from beloved mothers and grandmothers to courageous historical figures. This International Women’s Day, I was on a cruise with a group studying communications and marketing. I was blessed to meet a whole sisterhood of women who embody the qualities of a dragon, each inspiring in her own right. These are not their stories. Those stories aren't mine to tell, and these women certainly don’t need help telling them This is my story of meeting them, of the impressions they made, and of the ways they inspired me.

When Friendships Feel Like A Solo Journey
The evolution of friendships into one-sided engagements marks a departure from the mutual exchange of support and understanding that once defined them. These transformations often occur subtly, with the accumulation of unreturned texts, unmet plans, and an overarching sense of carrying the emotional load single-handedly. As individuals navigate through the complexities of life, the expectations from these connections may diverge, leading to a rhythm where one feels more invested than the other. This imbalance often leads to introspection about the dynamics of these relationships but also about one's role within them.

My Skate Sisters
She stands on the coping, staring down the six-foot wall. Wheels resting on the metal bar that meets the concrete. Taking a deep breath, she extends her right leg over the coping and drops into the bowl. Wind kisses her ear. She levels out on the surface bottom for three seconds, then proceeds to scale the adjacent wall on her eight wheels. Her black-colored blocks, which are attached to the truck of her quad-skates, land gracefully upon the coping. She slides her right leg out and brings in back within the one-second stall she is given. When her leg returns under her, she falls into a fakie (rolling backwards) back down into the bowl. With a quick 180-hop, she faces the metallic edge where she started. The sheer momentum carries her back up the wall, allowing her to roll into the next combination. Cheers from her skating sisterhood echo the skatepark, accompanied by the tapping of skateboards.

The Power of a Woman: Embracing Our Identity, Strength, and Value
Happy Women’s History Month! We have a lot to talk about. Womanhood is a multifaceted and deeply personal experience that transcends biological differences. Being a woman encompasses a rich tapestry of identity, strength, and empowerment, shaped by diverse cultures, societies, and individual stories. It’s in these lived experiences, from girlhood to womanhood, that allows us to step into our identity and our strength. In exploring what it means to be a woman, we must consider the unique challenges, triumphs, and new complexities women are facing today, including being erased.
