The power of female friendships is not a new concept but does everyone have that in their life? I think every woman wants it in their life but while it may be easy for some to cultivate, it isn’t always easy for everyone. Its not a matter of luck, it often has more to do with what you are bringing to the table. There are certain things that are a must in order to cultivate deep friendships.

If we pause and reflect on our life, we all will notice something that has been the biggest blessing in our life. It’s easy to get caught up in the noise of what we don’t have or wished we had but knowing what the biggest blessing in your life is, not only brings more of it into your life but also serves as something to give you faith and hope when life isn’t going your way. When I realized what this blessing was for me, I was moved to tears and continue to be when I allow myself to feel gratitude for it. This episode will encourage you to scan your life and find that blessing in your life that makes you think ‘how could I have gotten so lucky?’
