Sisterhood...

It’s my 7^th day Off of FB, although I guess I could say, I came back to it yesterday. A group of amazing ladies and I created a new group for Sisterhood; to share, laugh, grow and love. And just in the first day, it’s blossoming into something beautiful already.

There is something to say about Sisterhood. Growing up, most of my life honestly, I have never been one to have many female friends. Didn’t like them. Didn’t want them. The ones I had tended to stab me in the back and I enjoyed having more male friends than female anyway. The few I did have growing up were true and loyal. They still are. And I will cherish those friendships of 30+ years forever.

But over the last couple years, I have grown to understand the whole concept of Sisterhood a little more. There is nothing like creating a strong bond with another woman. Someone who you can be 100% yourself with, someone who you can share you secrets with and your fantasies; someone who you can share your joy and your pain with and they will support you, lift you up, kick your butt, hold your hand, celebrate and never judge you. You honor each other. You respect each other. She is truly your sister and she has your back as much as you have hers. That type of friendship is something I cherish dearly now and I have accumulated a few more women who I can say I share that bond with. I also have let go of women who I thought I shared it with.

When a woman can connect with another woman genuinely, whether they are similar in their lifestyles or completely different, it is a connection for a lifetime. It is not broken because of missed phone calls. It is not broken because of a man. It is not broken because of marriage, divorce, long distance or even jealousies. To be able to have girlfriends who you can bring your man around and not have to worry about them trying to get with him because of their loyalty towards you….PRICELESS! To be able to have girlfriends who you can call and say, “I need to vent. Can we go get a drink?” PRICELESS! Sisterhood is being able to share everything on your heart, being able to trust her 100% to not ‘Run Tell Dat’ to someone, to not belittle you, to not judge you. That’s what Sisterhood is all about.

If you as a woman, have not found this type of connection with other women, I suggest you start seeking it because while the love of a man is wonderful, the love of genuine girlfriends is no comparison. It will change your life immensely. Now, I do not mean the women who are going to sit and gossip with you all day, talk your man down and tell you he isn’t any good, come around when they want something or just women who don’t lift you up. Those women will bring you down and change your spirit.

I love the women who I have formed my Sisterhood with. I love their spirits. I love their words. I love their jokes. I love their stories because all together, we create something beautiful. We create something more powerful than just friendship. We create family. We create community.
