Welcome to the Launch of Balance & Grace!!!!

"This site is developed with the recognition that we are not alone. We are in this together. Who we are is more important than the titles we give ourselves or the labels we accept. Life is a journey to be shared, not a race to be won. Here we will develop balance and cultivate grace by celebrating, supporting, and challenging the spiritual, physical, and emotional growth of each other. We will teach each other and create a safe haven for discussion. Respond to a post, start a new topic, make a video request, or share a thought. It is here because of you and for you. So jump on in!!!!"

FRIENDS, gratitude, day 26

I once read that, "its not what your friends do for you but what you know that they would do for you" that makes them so invaluable. And I must agree. So many times your friends can't remedy a tragedy or heal a wound or fix the problems you are facing. Sometimes the only thing that they can do is show up and be present. And sometimes, although its the only gift they can offer, sometimes its the perfect gift that they bring to you. Look back and assess who has stood by your side, held your hand, maintained silence as you cried your eyes out or waited patiently as you sat quietly trapped in your own stony silence of pain. Recognize that these are the friendships that deserve nurturing and maintaining. These friends are warriors and you can not force their allegiance. Should you be fortunate to have even one friend of this caliber you are blessed. And I am so blessed.
