This article hits the nail on the head. It’s so true that women are magnets for drama and spend most of their time picking apart their fellow females for every imperfection. However, when you mature you find that your circle of friends is there for you for through thick and thin with relentless support regardless of all of your faults. It’s an amazing and empowering feeling to know you are loved

I think almost every woman can relate to this article. We can look back on our lives and remember those times when we just wanted to write off every female we knew because we were just sick of the drama.
But as we get older and our lives are so full of other things besides ourselves, we realize how much we need our friends- I can’t imagine my life without my women! They ground me and make me realize I’m not the only one going through the ups and downs. This article made me realize how much I really do appreciate each and every one of my girlfriends. Thanks for writing this!

Wow! This totally resonates wtih me. I would not make it without my awesome village of women either. Yeah, the high school drama might still rear its ugly head from time to time, but for the most part all of that is in the past and we all just support and love one another.

Thanks so much for putting into words what so many of us feel. Makes me want to tell each and every woman in my life how much I love and appreciate her!

It’s funny to come across this article today.

I spent this past weekend in the hospital with my daughter (she’s fine now) Like you, I am part of an online village of women. While I was in the hospital with no computer access and no one to turn to, I thought of them and how much I missed those women in just a short 4 days of being away. I needed them. I needed them so much and I couldn’t get to them. It was hard. It made me realize how much I have come to rely on these women and their knowledge, most of whom I have never met. I am so lucky to be part of such an amazing group of women and I am so glad they have been and I hope will be part of helping me to grow over an indefinite amount of years.

I completely agree with what you have written. As young girls, the pettiness that is part of everyday life is very strange. But as we grow older and wiser I suppose and realize we are all very much the same, the Pettiness is slowly removed from our lives one layer at a time until you realize there is no competition, we are what we are and all we want is a friend(s) to walkw ith us along the way.

PS, I don’t know where you live but sign me up for the Champage lunches!!!

Love to hear that someone gets that young women make mistakes when it comes to friendship. Life’s inexperience is the reason for this and she totally gets it! I wish I could be apart of her village…..who wouldn’t want to be. Love all of musingmoms articles please keep them coming!!
