Empowerment: Awesome Friends Edition

Women are often portrayed in TV, magazines and celebrity gossip blogs as bitchy and conniving towards each other. Face it, America loves a good cat fight. We're encouraged to be competitive with one another over fashion, friendships, and, of course, men. I have to say I am so thankful that my life and the women in it don't reflect the TV screen. Yesterday I got to spend some time with some of the amazing women in my life, and it reminded me of how wonderful it is to have loving, supporting and fun people in my life. When things are going wrong, I know I can turn to them for advice or sympathy or an opportunity to rant. When something good happens, I know they will be there to congratulate and celebrate with me, and I can count on them to be excited for me. No one can do everything by themselves, and I am glad that I have found such amazing people to share my life with.
