we're back

i know it's been a minute. i bet most of you have forgotten sISTA gIRLS has a blog. Well we do. I write about once or twice a week depending on my moods and what I need to get off my chest. I love it when you respond to the blog and offer suggestions. It doesn't happen, often but when it does, i hear and acknowledge.

so... happy belated new year and all that. i hope you all have been well, that you enjoyed the holidays, are gearing up for Valentine's day (if you celebrate), are okay.

i hope you are enjoying winter, freshly falling snow, cold moonlit nights, snuggling under warm blankets, hot toddies, and comfy sweaters and robes.

we here at sISTA gIRLS have been busy preparing to become a real company. we are... hopefully... going to put out calendars and minibooks, and create a real opportunity for women of all ages, cultures, walks of life, and races to meet and get to know each other and thereby... create long-lasting, strong, supportive friendships.

one of our long-term goals is a wild woman weekend of fun, laughter, good times and memories. one of our short term goals is a "get to know one another" luncheon. we will keep you posted as things begin to fall into place... if things begin to fall in place.

in the meantime, i shall re-post some of our prior posts to spark your memories and give you a feel for what we want to share with you in the future. PLEASE feel free to like, share, pass along, offer suggestions and enjoy.

take care of you

friendship ... spread the word

Good afternoon, good morning, good night ... aw heck ... Good day my friends, my sISTA gIRLS

i guess we have been at this for about three months now and it feels good to still be able to share my feelings and stories about friendship with all of you. i appreciate those of you who tune in regularly as well as those first timers  ... and everyone else who takes the time to read our friendship blog. i hope the things i write find a place in your heart.

please spread the word about the blog. not only will more people know about us but with enough people involved here, we can begin a dialogue together: you can share stories with me. you can ask questions of me. you can suggest things you would like me to talk about. perhaps we can even plan a meet and greet to extend our network of friends. anything is possible. the sky is the limit.

no friendship is one-sided that lasts and we want this to last. so comment, share, and spread the word

what is the word?

may we open our hearts to friendship

may we share the love it brings

may we speak of how our heart now sings

may we spread word of the joy it brings

may we be grateful for our friendship ring 

and may it last til eternity springs

for to last forever is no simple thing

poems, reflections and prayers for sista girls

Even sISTA gIRLS sometimes need a little prayer. Please keep me and mine in your prayers these next few days. Thank you kindly. Also bear with me if I take a little longer to get these posts out. The world will right up again and all will be well. In the meantime, here is a little poem to fill your day. I hope you like it.

Hope is a bird singing before the sun does rise

Hope is a flower’s fragrance even sweeter as it dies

Hope is a brilliant sky that preludes that day’s end

Hope is a “really, you too” that signals a new friend

Hope is a thing inspired on a warm and sunny day

Hope is a thing desired when the sunshine’s gone away

Hope is the thing you turn to when your life’s about to bust

Hope is a thing believed in when there’s nothing left to trust

and here is a prayer to fill your heart and spirit

may your friday be filled with friends and laughter

may your weekend be filled with family and goodness

may your body be filled with good health

may your heart be filled with light and loving kindness

may your world be filled with beauty

may your soul be filled with peace and joy

may life be filled with sunshine

may your life overflow with happiness and love

and may you always have  sISTA gIRLS to share it all with

LOVE YOU ALL ... TAKE CARE ... until tomorrow

let's share this friendship

While it is true … I have been writing this blog for just a little while … I have yet to get a comment from anyone who has read any of my posts. I would love to hear from you. If you have an opinion, a suggestion or a topic you would like me to talk about … please let me know. This blog is not just about me and friendships … it is about you and friendships. 

So share … share … SHARE!!!! Cause today it is all about YOU!!!!!!!

Welcome!  This is a community of friends sharing friendships; true and blue.  Friendships that continue to stand the test of time.  Our goal is to share stories of love for those friends who are near and dear; those who know all there is to know about us and love us anyway.  Our goal is to acknowledge true friends and the fact that we are thankful for and to them.  We all have one or two people in life who seem to always be there ... present and steadfast during the good, the bad, the ugly and the REAL cute. This blog acknowledges them

Have you taken a moment to tell them how much you appreciate them?  Do you remember the secret you shared some time ago - the secret that's still under lock and key?  Do you remember the moments that make you smile.  Do you remember the challenges these persons helped you overcome.  This is where friends who would jump on a plane, just for you, can be acknowledged.

Whether its a "bestie", mother, sister or childhood friend, let's talk about what true friendship means.  If you have a poem share it.  If you have a song share it.  We are put here to love and care for one another.  Here is another opportunity.  Share and Declare.
