Are you a SpaRitualist?

My most recent article on FrockOn is up! In this article, I sit down with the founder or SpaRitual and chat 'spa industry' with Shel Pink.  Spa quality, eco-friendly (and animal friendly!) holiday gifts? Yes please! Stay tuned for Part 2 of my article, but until then, check out Part 1!

One is silver and the other, gold.

I'm proud to say that I have very few conflicts in my life when it comes to friends and family.  It hasn't been easy, but over the years, I have worked very hard to develop my relationships and nurture them so they grow as I grow.  Unfortunately (as expected),  not all relationships change as you do.  It's sad and I've certainly shed my tears, but this only emphasizes the fact that the relationships that do stick around and stay strong are incredibly precious.

I was reminded today of how important the few really special people in our lives are.  You know the ones.  They are the people that have been around for years, through ups and downs and you would do anything for them.  When necessary, you hate their jerk ex-boyfriends (or ex-girlfriends), eat copious amounts of fast food during lunch hour at school, clap as loud as you can at their performances, or just laugh your faces off until one of you feels like you want to puke.  That, my friend, is a friend. 

One of my best friends showed her full fledged, pure and loving support for my dream I am pursuing and it was at that moment that I realized how much she really means to me.  No matter what, I know she will support and love me, and that feels incredible.  I could tell her I'm trying to grow a pineapple out of the top of my head and she would come back with a bunch of information to help me achieve this. Damn, I'm lucky.

Do you have anyone in your life like this? Is there someone that you think could be this person for you? Do your friends know how much you appreciate them? 

Could you be this person for someone else?
