This weekend I attended an incredible workshop in the Self Mastery for Women series facilitated by Carolyn Freyer- Jones in Los Angeles.

Our  topic was on Women and Friendship and it was surprising( and not shocking) that the attendance was smaller than normal. You see, every woman acknowledges we need to make more time for friendships but as life happens, husbands come along and then children, friendships get pushed to the side. They start to take WORK to maintain. But here’s the thing: our friends are the family we choose. They should be our biggest supporters, our shoulders to cry on and our cheerleaders to run with. I walked away with a new intention to put some love into friendships I”ve neglected and say some things to other friends I’ve just never said, and they need to hear.

Here are three things I plan to tell my best friends:

1. I miss you
2. I love you
3. When can I see you?

How easy is that? It is work, but I’ve rarely met a happy woman who made it through life’s ups and downs without her tribe of ladies standing by her side. If there’s a friend you’re missing, I challenge you to call her today and tell her how much you care. You will be so glad you did.

Hi Friends!

I wanted to write this post because I know we have so many new people passing by here and you may be wondering who I am and if this might be your tribe?

I”m Erin and I’m a mom of two little boys living in Malibu, California. Living healthy and well while helping others do the same is my mission. Here are a few random facts about me that I hope brings us closer to being friends.

Several years ago I started blogging for Huffington Post and sharing my spiritual growth stories. I was that girl that used to cringe when I heard the word spiritual, but when I realized if we don’t have a deeper connection to who we are and this planet we sit on that we really cannot live a fulfilling life. I believe spiritual can mean many different things to different people and has nothing to do with religion, but is a connection to something greater than ourselves. My search for spiritual wholeness led me to a yoga practice, an Ashram in India, many weekends of intense breathwork training, a new circle of like minded friends and an unshakable faith that there is a spirit guiding me and it’s my job to stay in touch with it.  [Read more…]
