I'm sure I've told some of you this, but one of the things that I feel is missing in my life right now is a friend who lives close by, who has some of the same beliefs that I do. I live in a VERY small and VERY conservative community and if most of the people here knew what my beliefs are they would probably burn crosses in my front yard, not understanding that I believe much the same as they do, but not all and certainly not from the same perspective.
Well, two weeks ago I was chatting with a mom at my 12 year old's football game. They had just moved to town right before school started and my son had mentioned meeting her son. We talked for a bit and she made a comment about all the conservative Churches in our area and if they knew her liberal beliefs they wouldn't talk to her. So, we talked a bit more and it seems that she and I may share some of the same views on life. She even went to the same University that I did.
So, we are meeting this afternoon for a latte and we may start doing T-Tapp together.
Looks like manifesting at its finest to me!!!!

LOL!! I've been trying to manifest a friend for a LONG time!! I have computer buddies and a few friends around here, but not one who calls everyday, hang out and coffee with, kind of friend. When you work so closely with your hubby, friends are hard to come by. I'm really glad you found someone, and hope this turns into a really good friendship for the both of you! You deserve it!
Love
WR

"Ditto" .... It's even harder to make friends, (in the real), if you don't have kids in school and moved to a new location. I guess I'm still also a bit gunshy about peeps-n-real still ... when I worked and was the 'boss' ... I had peeps crawling all over me ... but when the job went away ... so did the peeps ... I have my forever-friend still that I've written about ... but she too far away to drop in and even when I go there ... she really doesn't like to go out ... I am really looking forward to my son's marriage and he and his wife living near ... she loves to shop ... loves to go out for coffee, etc ... and so far .. she doesn't seem to mind draggin' an ole-lady w/ her ... LOLOL ...  |

You both are absolutely right! When I worked in an office I had tons of friends and things to do with them outside work. And when the girls were in school, there were always phone calls over functions and socializing and such. But now the girls are grown, and then when I started working with hubby in our own biz, lots of people kissing my butt, but no real friends. I have one "forever friend" from high school, we see each other a few times a year, but you know what happens when people have a life!! LOL! Just seems like people don't like to keep in touch. It's really great about your soon-to-be DIL! I'm sure she's very proud to have you to do things with.
Love
WR

When I worked in an office I still really didn't have any friends to do things with. I had friends at the office that I would go to lunch with, but that was it pretty much. Now, I work in my home and other than going to the store and my kids' activities, I don't have opprotunities to do much. We have lived here for almost 15 years and I still feel like an outsider. Until 4 years ago I was married and he was anti-social. Looking back on it, I was very isolated. I think he had some social anxieties and he wouldn't even go to Church in our town. We had to drive almost 40 minutes to the Church his parents and family went to. He was also very snobby and didn't really like much of anyone. I, on the other hand, love people and love to entertain. I couldn't because he would have been nasty to them.
So, my life really started 4 years ago.

We had a nice time. There were a lot of people there that I knew and they were RIGHT next to us. I couldnt' really talk freely because they are all such gossips!! Anyway, we are going to start doing T-Tapp together next week.
