From Vegas to Chicago via a Hummer . .

Thinking today about my posse - a group of incredible women - who have been on my side for more years than we like to think about. Each of us is very different - by loyalty and unconditional love are the cornerstones of our relationships. When I saw the quote below - it made me think of each of them - so who read the blog and some who don't. But at the end of the day - these women have stood by me, some for over 20 years - and not judged.

I found this quote on a another cool woman's blog - unfortunately - I have not figured out yet how to hyperlink between blogs AND I can't remember which blog I found it on . . . but at any rate here it is . . .

"But Oh! The blessing it is to have a friend to whom one can speak fearless on any subject, with whom one's deepest as well as one's most foolish thoughts come out simply and safely. Oh, the comfort - the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person - having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all right out, just as they are, chaff and grain together, certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and then with the breath of kindness blow the rest away."

Dinah Maria Mulock Craik, "A Life for a Life", 1866
