I’m about to leave the US now, but I want to reflect on something I had this break.
My mom and I hosted a women’s lunch. It was lovely and terrific, not only to see old friends, but to be surrounded by accomplished, smart, and wonderful women I have grown up besides. They’ve seen me through everything and been with me for years.
That’s who I want to be friends with, that’s the kind of community I want to build.
We don’t host much at my house, I do a bunch in Munich, but that’s the type of thing I want. I want to implement that when I go back to Munich, maybe a weekend women’s lunch.
I like being surrounded by a community of women. It’s lovely to have any community, but there’s something intoxicating about women. I can relate to them on a level, we talk about things that bounce around in my head and it’s great when there’s that moment where I can say, me too!
I want to have friends when I’m older where I’ve known for years and we get together to have lunches and to reminisce. I want to say, how is that person doing now. I want to talk about the things I’ve collected and my children. I want them to grow up in the same community I did, with the wonderful influences I did.
That lunch really made me very happy and I appreciated it so much.
That was great. I Love women’s get togethers ,too. And I have a womens group that meets twice a month, a bookclub once a mo., a dance group one a week. I treasure the connections. I treasure you, too.
