It’s true, you know, beauty brings beauty. When we gather together as women the loveliness inside each of us is magnified. I’ve watched it happen time and again.
Deep inside each of us is a longing for the beauty of true heart connection. We pray for soul sisters who will walk the hills and valleys of life with us. We long for friendships forged through play dates and prayers. Instinctively, intuitively, we understand we need others. Others make us better, stronger, beautiful.
Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil … And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him—a threefold cord is not quickly broken. Ecclesiastes 4:9, 12 ESV
Do you surround yourself with the loveliness of other women? Maybe you need to schedule a lunch with some friends or join a book club or plan a play date.
Make gathering with other women a priority … you’ll be stronger and lovelier from it.

It IS so important to take time with other women! I’d add that it’s essential to spend time with your peers, just for fun and fellowship; with younger women, to mentor and encourage; with older women who can mentor, and speak light and life into you!
I’m trying to find balance there in my life right now…

I find that making time to laugh and do something fun and creative, even if I don’t have a single drip of creative juice in me at the moment, is so vital to my relationships with the women in my life. It reminds me that we each bring something different and beautiful to this tapestry of life that God is wheezing. And, they never cease to amaze me with their humor or their passion or their purpose. And that inspires me!

June 10, 2013 at 2:50 pmI love this. I love coffee dates and play dates and sitting on someone else’s couch (or mine) to just have a chat. And online – some of my closest friends the closest I get to them is Facebook chat, but I think those chats make us more beautiful!
