A Friend is a Friend

I asked my best friend of 7 years to introduce me at my last book signing at Davis Kidd Booksellers. By the time he was finished, I was in tears.

We sometimes never know how someone else feels about us until they take the effort to express it. In that moment I also saw a clear reflection of myself, which is always a good thing. I saw someone I was proud to be... to have become after so much heart ache and so much struggle to find myself in this world.

My advice today is to take this day to be as authentic as possible, to make the most of the relationships that count in your world. When someone needs you and he or she has been there for you, drop everything and be by his/her side. There is nothing better in life than to share life's deepest moments of pain and joy. You get swept up in your true purpose, and that is to be compassionate to yourself and to all those around you. 

You are an out-picturing of God and spirit. You must express that which you are. Let yourself be the compassionate and loving person you were created to be. You'll see your body and mind change, your outlook about life change, and by default, your relationships will also metamorphosize.

Namaste.
