Since you’re giving out the opportunity, I want to publicly thank my friend Chayna for being one of those girlfriends. It doesn’t matter if we’re just hanging out, working on a project or she’s helping me remove the body of my deceased 80 pound dog from the house. There is always laughter and a story for later. I know she’s there even when she has 100 other things going on. She’ll tell you how it is – straight up. Even when you don’t want to see reality. She knows when to be easy on you and when you need a good slap up the side of your head (figuratively speaking of course). So… THANK YOU CHAYNA for being you!

Congratulations I know this has been a labor of love and I can’t wait to see all it brings to your life. Just so you know I sent out the movie link to all my favorite girlfriends – even if they already read this page just in case they missed today’s post! I wish you and Leigh Anne all the best in this new venture!

Somehow getting over here to the actual blog to leave a message just didn’t happen. I want to give a public thank you to my friend, Nancy, who’s always there for me. I remember the day we met, I said to myself, “Now here’s a gal that’s a real go-getter,” and I immediately called to ask her to be public relations for the Mental health Association of which I was President at the time. She resisted, but I told her how easy it was to do news releases, etc. This led to her writing a column for teenagers in our local paper and eventually publishing a book called, “FYI”. Years later, I thought that instead of doing monthly fundraisers, we should start a non-profit business – an upscale consignment shop – to benefit a mental health agency. In her always enthusiastic way, Nancy said, “Just think…instead of doing it to benefit ONE agency, what if we did it for TEN?” Think of the volunteers we could get, etc. We did it…and it has taken on a life of its own, profitable beyond our wildest dreams. We’re still after all these years in almost daily contact. I cherish her enthusiasm and energy, which know no bounds. Having a younger friend like Nancy keeps me young, too.

Congrats on this new site! Wishing you and Leigh Anne all the best with this. What an exciting venture for you both. I will look forward to hearing and seeing what you have to offer and I’ll be expecting great things with all the talent between the two of you! I’ll spread the word.

Hey Meredith…let’s have some fun together! We’ve been apart for years, but there has been no replacement for you…I have just been alone with the husband and two children and long for a girlfriend. You are perfect for me in every way and I so enjoy the few times a year we talk (can’t believe I’ve said those words) and the fewer times we’ve seen one another. I’ve still not met the latest addition…how shameful. However, I know we have great lives and are truly blessed beyond measure and I shouldn’t complain about missing you and I never have…until now! I miss you so very much! You make the world a better place, and you certainly have always made my days brighter!

Hi Sherra,

I met you, ever so briefly, at the KikaPaprika Runway in July. I finally found a moment to check out your site. Actually, I’m having a show tomorrow and was looking for some inspiration for an ice breaker. Thanks so much for making me laugh. Laughing is my favorite thing to do!
