My girlfriends are some of the most extraordinary women! They are climbing ladders in corporate America, starting new business ventures, finishing school, furthering their educations, taking care of their families, supporting their partners, raising children on their own, taking on new chances on life—dating, marrying, divorcing—forgiving, forgetting, remembering—loving, caring, trusting. They are doing it all! I’m blessed to just watch it happen! 

It's not a simple process to move from where you are now, to where you want to be in life. It’s not always an easy process to improve your quality of life. You know it and I know it! And although I’m very proud and inspired by their progress, it sometimes saddens me to hear of what they have to endure in order to reach their personal goals—what we all have to experience. Hearing the discouragement, confusion, questioning and fear becomes so disheartening that it makes me wish that I could do something to help them. But, realistically, I can’t take their place, can’t do it for them, and I can’t even force them to continue what they’ve started. Staying on “the Path” and trusting “the Process” is a decision that they’ll have to make in order to move forward. So, as a friend, I’m doing what I’ve been moved to do—to inspire them. 

I feel very deeply that 2011 is our year to blossom, to rise above, to heighten our learning, to love abundantly, to receive—to have all of the desires of our hearts! So, I’m going to inspire all of my girlfriends to keep trudging forward. 

Starting in January, I am planning to write motivating letters to all of my girlfriends!  All of their email addresses have been added to a private distribution list. Every morning, they’ll receive an email from me with the subject, “Letters to my Friends.” These emails will be uplifting with words of encouragement, inspiration, motivation, and enlightenment. 

It doesn’t matter if you are my girlfriend or a stranger, if you are a man or a woman—if you would like to be added to this list, please let me know by registering your email address below. Also, would you like to write a letter to YOUR girlfriends?
