This was sent to me by a dear friend, Kalla. Though we seldom get to share ‘real time and space’ together, as it is with Circle relationships that run deep, we are truly connected in full support of manifesting miracles. We understand that there are miles between us, but not between our mutual love and respect for one another.

I am blessed with her full acceptance and support, and rest in the knowing that I am not alone. I share with her and a growing number of women a common commitment to living an authentic life through the power of connection that exceeds all understanding.

And so here is the gift sent to me from Kalla, and I pass it along to you to also ‘pay it forward’.

WOMEN IN MY CIRCLE

When I was little, I used to believe in the concept of one best friend,

And then I started to become a woman.

And then I found out that if you allow your heart to open up, God would show you the best in many friends.

One friend is needed when you’re going through things with your man.

Another friend is needed when you’re going through things with your mom.

Another will sit beside you in the bleachers as you delight in your children and their activities.

Another when you want to shop, share, heal, hurt, joke, or just be. One friend will say, ‘Let’s cry together,’ Another, ‘Let’s fight together,’

Another, ‘Let’s walk away together. One friend will meet your spiritual need,

Another your shoe fetish, Another your love for movies,

Another will be with you in your season of confusion,

Another will be your clarifier,

Another the wind beneath your wings. But whatever their assignment in your life,

On whatever the occasion,

On whatever the day,

Or wherever you need them to meet you with their gym shoes on and hair pulled back,

It may all be wrapped up in one woman, But for many, it’s wrapped up in several.. One from 7th grade, One from high school,

Several from the college years, a couple from old jobs, On some days your mother, On some days your neighbour,

On others, your sisters, And on some days, your daughters.

So whether they’ve been your friend for 20 minutes or 20 years,

AND ONLY IF YOU’D LIKE TO,

Pass this on to the women that God has placed in your life to make a difference
