I remember a school day when I was 5 years old, this girl and I played together nearly EVERY recess.  In my heart I knew she was my best friend forever.  I talked about her every day, I came home excited to tell my parents what we talked about, what we did on the playground that day and our dreams for the future.  This particular day I didn't find her till recess was over.  As we were lining up I over heard her telling some other girl that SHE was HER best friend!!  WHAT??  I was devastated!

"Rather than focusing on labeling a friendship, live it day by day, by being a good friend."

Words of wisdom from my mom.  Words that stuck with me (maybe cause she repeated them many times over the next few years).  I realized I didn't need a single person to call my BFF, I just needed to be a good friend and a lasting friendship would automatically develop.

I am grateful for this lesson my mom taught me at such an early age, after all I have some of the best besties a girl could ever want!

The other day I was thinking about my best friends, how some I grew up with, some are new, and some I've recently met but they live far away.  Then I realized collectively they each contributed a piece that taught me a very important lesson, to......

Love wholeheartedly 

The most important thing I learned from them is to always love wholeheartedly.  To be a good person even when it is easier not to be.  To be strong enough to be kind in the face of cruelty.  To be understanding when people make mistakes and then to be brave enough to forgive them or ask for forgiveness.  Love is the most powerful weapon we possess; always use it to its full potential.

Thank You!!
