Fierce.
I can say this with pride: I have fierce friends.
They’ve got it all; beauty, smarts, attitude, a funny bone, a keen fashion sense, awesome mothering skills, and a determination that makes me proud to call them my sisters.
Oh and they like purses*. Ahhh, purses. Who doesn’t like purses?
When I went to Type-A Mom Conference in September, I was lucky to be a part of a group of speakers who were invited to Dress Barn. We were decked out, head-to-toe, with clothing, jewelery, shoes, and purses.
Anissa chose a sexy dress that *ehem* accentuated her stellar rack. She worked that dress; it was seemingly made for her.
The next morning when we put on a little fashion show, for our fellow conference goers, Anissa was called up first. She worked that stage. She owned it. She had this look on her face of strength, beauty, and wisdom. She’s a total package, that one!
Anissa’s fierce. Believe that.
(Check Anissa’s Hope4Peyton Blog for updates from her husband, Peter. And keep praying and sending out those awesome positive vibes for our friend.)

*Dress Barn sent me this great clutch to give away to one of my readers. I got one, too. A brownish one. Oh, Michael’s gotta be thrilled that my “timeless” purse collection is growing.
Just tell me why you love your girlfriends, your sisters.
I’ll randomly pic a winner and announce it Monday, November 23rd.

I love my sisters for their spirit, for the way the can lift me up when needed and the way they can lean on me when they need to. I love my sisters for the way they can forgive and the way that they protect. I love my sisters because they are beautiful!
I love my girlfriends because they ARE like sisters. They help mend broken hearts *sniff*, give me giggles and love me, for me – and if you know me, I’s be crazy sometimes. No judgment. They have huge hearts.
I love my sisters for their unconditional love and support. It’s undeniably true that in hard times you know who your friends are I’m fortunate enough to have some amazing women by my side. I love them most for supporting me, never being afraid to tell me when I’m wrong and loving me inspite of myself.
I love my girlfriends because I feel comfortable enough with them to totally let my hair down and be as goofy as I wanna be. My girlfriends and I have been cheerleaders in the audience of an AC/DC concert, ballerinas in my living room at 2 a.m., and so much more.
I love my girlfriends because they have an uncanny ability to *know* when I need support, even if I can’t ask for it. I’d be lost without them: I love them so very, very much. *wibbles*
I love my girls because they love me. They understand my weird sense of humor and support me when I need them to. They let me support them. They are me and I am them and we love each other. <3
I LOVE my sister because she is my twin and has been with me through EVERYTHING, thick and thin and loves me despite it all. She is great and I would not be who I am without her.
…from a fellow Atlantan thinking about Anissa…
I love my girlfriends because they are there for me whether it’s cause I’m crying over my douche of an ex leaving me or cause I spilled the last milk from the carton. Both times I was told to stop being such an eejit and plied with alcohol. They are my sisters, and I love them!
My friends are my family I get to choose.
Anissa IS fierce.
I love my girlfriends, near and far, because they’re the family I never had, the inspiration that I crave and the supports I need – even when I don’t know I do. xo to you.
$5 says Anissa’s dreaming about Ralph, right now.
Girlfriends love you warts and all, often accept more of you than your family or significant other, and always know how to cheer you up. They get you more than a man can hope too.
I love my girlfriend, my sister…because in the midst of my panicked phone call that my own family wouldn’t take me in while I contemplated the probable end of my marriage – without hesitation to her own crowded home she invited me and my children in. To love and support…to talk and to veg. To just be.
She is my rock through this.
Beautiful shot… shows her spunk :)
I love my girlfriends because they keep my grounded and allow me to be me :)
I love my girlfriends because they love me for who I am.
My girlfriends, my sisters… they are a reflection of me.
Praying for Anissa. <3
Awesome photo.
I have four sisters. I love them because they are feisty and funny and caring. And feisty. Did I mention the five of us are a feisty bunch? I love my sisters because they can hit me on the back of the head with a hair dryer and ask to borrow my jean jacket in a half hour’s time. I love them because they sat me on the clothes hamper and curled my bangs and taught me how to wear makeup. I love my sisters because they told me I needed to start tweezing my eyebrows. I love my sisters because they’d kick the ass of anyone who made me cry. I love my sisters because they’re my flesh and blood. I love my sisters. Thanks for asking.
I don’t have alot of friends but the few I do are great. My sister has been my best friend my whole life. Believe it or not we never fought growing up. Now that we are grown it is a different story. lol. My other best friend just moved 8 hours away so I am feeling lost without her. She is the one person that I tell everything and anything and she tells me the way it is. I miss her so much. Even though she is so far away I know all I have to do is pick up the phone and she is there for me. She is a true blue friend.
I love my girlfriends, sisters because they are themselves! pure as white! they have a magnet which attracts true friends and good things in others. They always stand by me and teach me to love the good things and good characteristics about others. They are a storehouse of positive energy and make the world a lovable, peaceful and divine place to live in.
I love my girlfriends/sisters just because they are “there”, no matter what, no matter when; period!
