Welcome
I popped out of the office on Friday for lunch with one of my favourite
gals. We’ve been friends since college and there isn't a day that goes by
where we don't call or message each other. It might be short and sweet,
but it is an integral part of each day for me.

were navigating the independence of early adulthood. Fast forward
these years, and we've supported each other through relationships,
careers, marriages, babies and now mid life. We laugh all the time...at

life and at ourselves. We can talk about any topic without judgement
and we have each other’s back 100%.

Studies have shown that having close friendships boost your health

increased happiness and decreased anxiety. So be social, invite
friends over, head out to your favourite restaurant, join a local
club or volunteer and continue growing friendships no matter
what age we are.
