Empower Lunch

I recently had a lunch date with three important women in my life. These are women of intelligence, strength, faith, and poise. They inspire and bless me in many ways.

My mom.... has a tender heart and a will of iron. She is my cheerleader, my shoulder to cry on, the one who is always there to pick me up, my mentor, and a friend so dear to my heart. I hope to emulate her in all things.

Jolene....I love her wisdom and advice, her wit, and her courage in voicing her opinion.

Taryn....She is intelligent, and articulate. I so admire her unique beauty and grace.

I don't remember a time when Jolene and her girls were not a part of my life. When I was very young, Jolene and my mom discovered and then nurtured the kind of friendship that many search for and never find. They are both the kind of friends I want to be to the special people in my life. I admire them and hope to become the kind of mother, friend, wife, and amazing woman that they have shown me is possible.

These dates provide plenty of stimulating conversation, great advice, and are always full of fun. We cover everything from fashion and literature, to family and politics. And we always have at least a little bit of drama to share to keep things interesting. I leave feeling empowered, enlightened, refreshed, and ready to take on the world again...... or at least the 3 year old and 1 year old that are my little part of it.

Thank-you for Lunch and Oh so much more!
