Today I am thankful for my fab friends.  My BFFs, my road dogs, my homies for life.  I have awesome friends who encourage, support and inspire me.  Even as I am writing this post, an amazing email/Facebook message pops into my inbox.  My friends are the best.  I am so glad that I get to do life with magnificent people.  They make me better and I hope I do the same for them.  As I think about the dynamics of my friendships, here are a few important tidbits (that I learn from my friends) on how to be a fab friend:

1. Listen.  Really.

2. Love unconditionally

3. Show compassion & understanding

4. Be honest 

5. Encourage Encourage Encourage

6. Laugh

7. Forgive

8. Don't take yourself too seriously

9. Offer support 

10. Respect boundaries

To my dear friends, I love ya more than words can say.  You're the sugar in my sweet tea.   The frosting on my cupcake.  The ribbon in my sky.  


Thank you for making life sweet.
