I raised my daughter with strong lessons on the necessity of being independent and she has learned those lessons well! I want this for each and every one of my female loved ones!
That said, I've been very worried for the last month or so about a much loved, close female friend. Due to a recent traumatic experience, she was headed in a direction where she would be financially unstable. Although myself and another close friend would never allow her to be destitute, I was very worried about where she was headed. A woman should never allow herself to get into a position where others can take advantage of her. There is no guarantee that myself and our other friend wouldn't get hit by a bus and not be available to provide help to her if needed. There are so many awful people out there who prey on vulnerable women! I was so worried!
Happily, during a phone conversation with her today, she indicated that she was going to resume the stable financial plan that she had before her recent traumatic experience! I was getting my nails done at the time and the technicians noticed that I exhaled loudly after my dear friend told me her wonderful news! I just can't describe how relieved I am about her decision! I am still breathing easier and feel that a huge weight has lifted from my shoulders! She is such a wonderful woman and I want so much for her to be happy and safe!
So the theme of this post brings back a song that I listened to as a kid. It applied to life back then, it does now, and it always will! I dedicate this song to my dear friend whose unfailing logic has returned! Here's to you, my dear friend . . . you know who you are! You are a very strong and capable woman!
Helen Reddy knew the importance of being a strong woman in control of her own life! My dear friend is the same, and I've got her back!
