Defining What Makes a Sister of the Heart
It’s important to have someone you can turn to in times of great celebration, great tragedy and great…boredom. LOL I have so many amazing friends. I have friends who I can call on if I need help, or want honest feedback. I have friends who hold my secrets and those who can make me laugh no matter what. But, there’s a difference between a good friend and a “Sister of the Heart”. It may seem subtle when we talk about it, but it’s important in ways hard to describe sometimes.
A Sister of the Heart is someone you have absolute trust in. You have unconditional love for each other. You can count on them regardless of time or distance or issue. They carry your secrets as their own. They are honest, even if it’s tough, but always in a supportive way.
I have several Sisters of the Heart that I know, without a doubt, I could call at 3AM and say “I need you” and their answer will always be “I’m on my way.”
And though I can’t write about every single one of these amazing women, I wanted to share something about some of those very dear women. And I want to invite you to tell me about one of your own sisters of the heart, or several if you are blessed to have many. I want to hear your stories, because in a way, it binds us all together.
Anita has been part of my family since I was a teen. She was my parents’ chosen child that they took in and loved as their own. And we all loved her. Anita is one of those people who is so easy to talk to. You feel like you can say anything without judgement from her. That she cares about what you say and how you feel. She’s fun and you just want to be around her.
Kathie is one of the sweetest, most gentle people I’ve ever known. She has so much compassion for people and animals. We tease her sometimes, good-naturedly, that she doesn’t even know HOW to be mean! LOL We’re pretty sure she’s never been mean in her entire life.
(With Cheryl)
Cheryl is brilliant and funny. A great combination to have in a friend! I love discussing books with her. She can make me laugh, that fully-belly-laugh that leaves you begging her to stop because you’ve laughed so hard it hurts. She is loyal. And for that I am truly grateful.
(With Sheila and Kathie)
Sheila is most like me. We could sit and talk or laugh for hours. Or we could sit quietly and still enjoy each other’s company. She is always there for me no matter what.
(With Brenda and Kelley)
Kelley, Brenda and Kris are extremely special to me and I’m thankful they’re in my life. Their loyalty and love bolsters me. Just one phone call or message and no matter what is happening in their lives they will be there for me.
And perhaps, in the end, that’s the common thread to all of my Sisters of the Heart, those mentioned, those not. I can put my trust in that they will always be there for me, no matter what happens in my life. I trust them with my heart, and they know they can trust me with theirs.
In celebration of the release of Bound Together, the final book in the Sisters of the Heart series, I invite you to be part of this blog. Part of this story I just shared with you. Tell me about your own Sister of the Heart and why they are so special to you.
