The Mission:
Forging friendships
that stand the tests of time, neglect, abuse, and inertia.
Why friendship
matters:
In friendship, we
trust, we grow, we heal, stretch, laugh, learn, dare, swear, swagger, brag,
bitch, belong.
Why I’m here:
I’ve spent much of my
adult life advocating for women in the home, in the workplace, on the streets,
around the world. I’ve given back to a community of women that’s been generous
to me in so many ways, mentoring me, coaching me, holding my hand when I’ve
been afraid, holding my heart when it was bruised and battered, slaying my foes
when I’ve been too beaten to fend for myself, kicking me in the ass when they
knew I could slay them myself.
But friendship can be
dangerous. And we all know that friendship, particularly among women, is
constantly under attack – often with reasons that lead right back to us.
This isn’t about
spewing rainbows and puppies; it’s about the real bitch friendship can be when
it’s not the lifeblood it should be.
Why are you here?
Do you want to share
your friendship experiences? The good, bad, the oh-so-ugly? Call bullshit on
the whole idea of friendship? Nominate your bestie for Friend of the Year? Tell
