Find your tribe

As I was looking at the stonewall on my property it got me thinking. I looked at all the rocks that make up that wall and I am amazed for one thing about how this was done way back when. There are big and small rocks of all shapes and sizes. They all come together and stand as one strong wall.

This brings to mind all the many different women in the world. We are of all shapes, sizes and beliefs. We all have something to give to the world. If we come together and support each other through our struggles, congratulate on our accomplishments no matter how big or small. Which, by the way, a small accomplishment is nothing small. It is a monumental feat. We will be stronger together. We need each other to hold us up in difficult times, to encourage us to keep moving forward. To help us see how wonderful we really are. We do a lot for people without tending to ourselves.

Becoming part of a support system is such a mood booster and a relief in many ways. You are not alone. If you feel you are reach out and say hello to someone. Find women who are looking for similar support. Meet them online in a private group or in person at a gathering. Find your people and start a relationship. It does not have to be something that takes up a lot of your time. People who are supportive regardless of what they believe can and will be there in many ways. Even receiving a text of encouragement will help you move through a challenge or lift your mood.

We need our tribe to hold us accountable, help when the chips are down, encourage us to move forward, hold our hand when we are scared, listen to our rants. Find your tribe whether it is one person or a group. You will feel less stressed and more fulfilled. They are out there looking for you too.
