With a long distant friend, I enjoy changing this obstacle into an opportunity by creating annual 'frienditions' to see and do something new and different together.

When a friendship is important enough, with mutual respect, most obstacles provide the opportunity to broaden each person's perspective and help each one grow in interesting and unexpected ways.

Don't miss out on opportunities to spend time with friends you value most, because too many of your waking hours are spent on a treadmill of constant doing to keep up with our culture's demands. Good friends are stress relief!

The #1 friendship challenge women have is finding time to spend with each other.

When you are angry with a friend, or a friend is angry with you, it's important to remember that there is always hurt underneath anger.

Friendships unfold gradually as women share intimacies with one another- this takes time. You need to be willing to let your friends know the real you, but you don't want to spill your guts out the first time you're out to lunch.
