I just read a wonderful post by my precious friend
Diana Frey that I think shares some very interesting & important information about women & the friendships they create. It also states that this
bond has some very interesting health
benefits & that men do not have the same sort of bonds with their friends. So please go
HERE to read this post by my amazing friend. Diana (&
Riki) thank you for sharing this. Also, this gives me a perfect
opportunity to thank each & every one of you for your friendship & the blessing of having you brought into my life.
YOU DO MAKE A DIFFERENCE!!!!! Have a wonderful week. And thank you to
Karen of
The Graphic Fairy for the image above (don't these girls look like they are a group of friends sharing & enjoying life?). She is such a giving & generous soul.

Hey Charlene! Thanks for stopping by my blog. I left a response for you on my blog. :)

I have you back now and can catch up on your blog. I will check out the gal moving to AK. thanks sweet lady.

Charlene, you are so true, I just left this comment for Diana...I just thought I would paste it here so you could see what I said to her! Sorry I haven't been around.....I have been kind of sick, but I am on the mend!!!
ReplyDeleteHere is what I wrote to her....Diana, this is so true, I think about the women I have met through my blog, and I feel so grateful! Even though I may never or may take years to meet them I have a bond that is stronger then most of my relationships I have ever had....you girls are supportive and kind, understanding and inspirational....
I have always felt that the sisterhood of blogging has brought me together with women of like mind that I would otherwise never know...we are bonded my our hopes and dreams and love of the arts!!
I am always inspired and yet comforted to know what is happening in your world...to me you represent the creative artistic sister that I lost years ago. I know this sounds kind of strange but it is true...I look up to you and Charlene both like that, I am always so impressed by the amount of talent you two have!
I can't imagine my husband understanding or even listening to me when I say things like this!!!!
The power of girlfriends is very real, we are a dynamic group of friends!!
Hugs,
Margaret B
It is wonderful that we can support each other ... it really helps to know we are not alone.

Thanks for sharing, Charlene!
ReplyDeleteI hope your husband is doing well.
Hi Charlene! Thanks for stopping by my blog....and I see you are friends with Riki - actually Riki was interested in my yorkies too - but the logistics of it all wouldn't have worked. :( I see she has a sweet little havanese girl now - too cute!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, Holly is a blog friend - I have one of her adorable aprons in my possession! I just love her work. It looks like you ALL had a great time at the mermaid event in southern cali - how I miss my california roots!
Anyways, must get back to puppy sitting!
Cheers
Rochelle
Thank you for sharing this and for your friendship. I feel like we've know each other for a lifetime. I smile every time I think about you and so love hearing your Southern drawl. You're such a doll and I am so thankful we met.
ReplyDeleteHere's to many more long conversations and emails.
HUGS!
Hi Charlene, I need to go read Diana's post. I feel so lucky to have your friendship too Charlene, and all the wonderful ladies I have met in this amazing art world. Sure thinking of you guys. Hugs, Riki
ReplyDeleteCharlene Thanks for this post I will hit your friends over coffee in the am. My battery is dying right now as I am in bed blogging( a treat) while Hubby snores. Hey I fixed my email on my blog link but it is juliehaymaker@me.com .Thanks for coming by my blog !!
ReplyDeleteI definitely agree. You know the feeling when you walk into a room full of unwelcoming people? Especially when they are in groups or cliques? You'd wish your friends are around. :)

ReplyDeleteCharlene you have done such a wonderful job bringing "Les Sirenes" to life on your blog. Love the pictures, prose and philosophizing! Sun hasn't shined in SF since I returned but reading your blog makes the sun shine from inside. Can't wait to see your next posts!
