Day: February 12, 2019

I spent my weekend with four brilliant, strong, vibrant, determined women. I have known these women for a decade.

I have watched their lives change.

I have watched them change in the most minute, unrecognizable ways; the newest laugh line, a slight movement in the way each of them speaks.

I have seen them change in ways that felt as though they would be earth shattering; a new child, then another, the purchase of homes, business ventures, the begins and ends of love.

Deep down in my gut, I know these women, and they know me.

This weekend, we stayed up late and shouted at the stars. We told them how beautiful they were. We thanked them for being where we could see them. We felt lucky to have a place away from the city lights, a place where the sky could really show itself.

These women, these changes, and the moments I have with them are life affirming. They inspire me to write beautiful things. Words of magic.
