Are You Open?

Sometimes we are in the right location, but our heart and mind is not in the right place to recognize the people we should be interacting with

Hey Loves!!

Let’s get into today’s read… because there has been so many moving pieces  in my life and it has all been for my good!

Have you ever thought about how hard it is to make new friends or even put yourself in a position to be open to it… well let me tell you.. I am guilty of having a chapter in my life where I closed myself off…and it wasn’t because I didn’t want to meet new people… but it’s hard to open yourself up for the possibility.

Earlier this year.. I had the opportunity to participate in a vendor event and I’m so glad I did.. not only did I meet amazing people who were interested in my business, but I met 2 phenomenal women and we are building a wonderful sisterhood.

I love my friends that have been rocking with me for 20 years, but it was refreshing to see that there are women who are just as solid as them still around. I mean… I’m talking about women of substance.. where you can go from topic to topic.. learn something from each other.. laugh… cry… hold each other accountable… and just experience life together.  Plus both of these ladies are thriving business women… like… this was toooo good. One of the women is the founder of a non- profit organization dedicated to mentoring young women and the other is the owner of a skincare line. Not only are they spiritually yoked with me, but so down to earth and fun to be around…

I often talk with my Day ones ( long time friends) about opening our circles and we would always say finding new friends was like dating.. and It definitely is.. you have to be willing to trust… set aside your time.. and compromise… Another factor for  me was where I live… most of my friends live in surrounding areas and not directly in my city.. so I got used to just traveling to each other and not really looking to meet other people… but the day I went to the vendor event… that changed. I realized that I became complacent in the networking and socializing department of my life… because I didn’t  have that friend that lived right around the corner..  I closed the door to all of it… 

But now I realize and I want to share this with you too… not only do you have to manifest and pray for new friendships.. but you have to make yourself available to create them… sometimes we are in the right location, but our heart and mind is not in the right place to recognize the people we should be interacting with.

After the vendor event, I ended up going to lunch with both women on different occasions and we hit it off. Although we don’t live in the same city… we have made plans to link up and stay in touch… A start to a beautiful sister hood. 

The point is… don’t force the doors of opportunity to close… they are open for a reason… instead of forcing them closed… try opening your heart and mind to receive what walks through those doors.

How do you feel about meeting new people and what have you learned about yourself from that experience?
