Galentine’s Day is the day that we girls can profess our love to our best girl friends! There is something about having amazing girlfriends in your life who can support you, love you, and stand with life turns left. I used to hear woman talk about how they didn’t need female friends and as I get older I realize that most times not having female friends has more to do with the person than anything. It’s not about having a full tribe in numbers as it is about having quality friends.
Celebrate your Friends for Galentine’s Day
Also having girlfriends and being mature to go through things and learn to say sorry. One of the things I am being tested with my girlfriends is knowing that just because you have longevity with one another that being comfortable with one another is a great thing. One of the things I would encourage friends to do is to not lose mutual respect. Comfortability doesn’t mean you don’t consider your friend’s feelings. No one needs a mother of the group. We need friendship, someone to listen to each other, and someone to simply be there!
How to have Honest Conversations with your Girls
I have amazing girlfriends and some who my relationships have withstood the tests of time. My friends are the type that I am honored for their friendship and how it has evolved. I am grateful that a lot of my girlfriends have been sisters to me. There have been times when their friendship mattered most at the times of my life when I wasn’t sure how I would literally make it to the next day. I have evolved with them and that remaining love that we share has been nothing short of amazing. If you have an amazing girlfriend, let them know today and every day you care. Women supporting women is an amazing thing!
Ways to Celebrate Galentine’s Day
There are so many ways you can celebrate the big day. IF you have friends that are far away like I do, consider do a group conversation. Plan a vacation or a girls trip. Send cards to your favorite gal pals. Have a lunch or dinner date.
- Plan an indoor self care day
- Pamper your friends with a spa day
- Meet at a favorite restaurant for bites and more
- Consider cocktails and fun for the night
- Have a movie night to watch a great chick flick
Galentine’s Acknowledgement
Sometimes your friends just need to be acknowledgment of how much they mean to you. Show them that love. Trust me we all could use a dose of love. Increase communication. Make sure you aren’t afraid to tell someone you love them in every way you can. Give people their flowers as often as you can. So send your girls some beautiful flower arrangements especially if they are not connected to someone. Nothing is more special than receiving flowers from someone who loves you and sees you for you. Make the most of your day!
