A United Front of Women

When I graduated from USC, I didn’t just get my diploma in business. I gained so much more than that; like great friends. Since I was blessed in meeting this great bunch of friends, our lives have gone in different ways, and I have recently realized I miss then very much. I eventually launched my own business in coffee houses and I have never been luckier or happier and now I hope to find those friends to see what they are up to.

I enjoy what I do for a living and since I have become independently and financially secure, I want to find them to share the wealth. To me my life just won’t be complete until I can recapture what the four of us have had with our one time intense friendship. It’s crazy how I found myself the perfect career, but without my friends at my side it doesn’t feel like I’m whole.

Chenille my one friend always told me I could find security and happiness in finding someone to love and to have faith in. At the time she was referring to God, Chenille would tell me that if I don’t find the right man that it’s because I have yet to accept the Lord. The problem is I’ll never really know how to pull my life together in a complete and satisfying way. I wonder if she still believes that, because although in the work department, I am very satisfied.

Where are you guys? I need you!

My other friend Tracy insisted that God wasn’t as much the answer as much as it is to get married and have lots of children. That a woman’s purpose isn’t going to be found in the workplace, but instead it would be found through marriage and procreation. I wonder if she married and procreated.

Margie was always light and breezy, upon our graduation she went to travel with the Peace Corp, but I don’t know if she ever got there and if she did, if she is back in the country?

Then finally Kelly, who was an amazing tennis player and golf player. She used to say that if she could she would teach little girls to play the game since she was a firm believer in girls and sports as a confidence builder.

I guess the point is I need my friends in my life; they became family to me beside my boyfriend at the time, who went on to a more unsuccessful, underachieving woman. Want I would love to do is get my old friends together, to put our strengths together, be our own bosses, and form ourselves into something of an entourage for woman.

Someone told me that Chenille writes for this site.

I sure hope so, because I am a form believer in unity. For united we stand divided we fall. The older I get the more I can appreciate that phrase. Wouldn’t it be great of more women came together and put their expertise together because I have a feeling we women have got to look at for one another.
