The Meaning Of Friendship


Not everyone with whom you have a friendly relationship is a true friend. Some people are just very good acquaintances.


A real friend is someone you could phone at 3 am, when you’re in trouble and know they’d be out to help you in a heartbeat.



True friends are people who know all your faults but accept you as you are anyway.


Real friends are people with whom you have a lot in common, especially when it comes to things that make you laugh and those times when you enjoy getting silly.


                                  Friends buy you food. Best friends eat your food.



Friendship is a relationship of equals.


If you’re lucky enough to have one good friend then you are richer than you imagine and if you have two then you’re truly blessed.

Vintage Brooches

















Originally brooches were invented to hold clothes together or make fit better. Since then people have found different ways to wear brooches. In each era, you will find a different trendy way to wear brooches. 

Brooches are traditionally worn on the left side by many older woman in society. This way is considered sophisticated and the correct way. You will most likely see the ladies of the royal family wearing it on their left side. Women who hold a high position in society most often wear it on the left as well.

Nowadays people are way more creative and expressive and don’t see things as black and white. Long gone are those days where many of us abide by fashion rules. Do what suits you and and your style.


Here's a dozen of my favorite things never to apologize for:


1) Never apologize for acting on your instincts.
2) Never apologize for being passionate.
3) Never apologize for being smart.
4) Never apologize for demanding respect.
5) Never apologize for saying no.
6) Never apologize for not embracing someone else's agenda.
7) Never apologize for disagreeing.
8) Never apologize for your faith.
9) Never apologize for your own sense of creativity.
10) Never apologize for ordering dessert.
11) Never apologize for being funny.
12) Never apologize for living your truth.


Every one of us casts a shadow.

There hangs about us, a sort of a strange, indefinable something, which we call personal influence--that has its effect on every other life on which it falls. It goes with us wherever we go. It is not something we can have when we want to have it--and then lay aside when we will, as we lay aside a garment. It is something that always pours out from our lives . . . as light from a lamp, as heat from flame, as perfume from a flower.

The ministry of personal influence is something very wonderful. Without being conscious of it, we are always impressing others by this strange power that exudes from us. Others watch us--and their thinking and actions are modified by our influence."

"Be very careful, then, how you live--not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity." Ephesians 5:15-16
