I very strongly believe that friendships form the bedrock of our most important personal relationships. These include more than the connections we have with our ‘bestie’s but also those with romantic partners and ourselves. At its core, friendship embodies understanding, empathy and mutual respect. Through friendship we learn to trust, confide in and support one another through life's triumphs and tribulations. My intent here is to explore these topics through my own observations and I hope that they will spark ideas that will be helpful for you.
