Why You Need at Least One De-lu-lu Friend

What is the biggest thing you’ve ever wished for?

When I was 22, I decided I wanted to do a fundraiser to help children in a community on the other side of the world have access to clean water. $15,000 later, I accomplished that mission.

When I was 26, I became an elementary school principal. 

When I was 29, I got braces, and at 30, I had major jaw surgery.

When I was 30, I married a really great human being who I love and who I’ve already had a lot of adventures with.

When I was 31, I started my own speaking, professional development, and wellness business.

Each and every one of these things I prayed about, I reflected about, and ultimately, what helped me see things through have been my deep friendships. 

When I stood on the stage and said “I do” next to my caring friends who have empowered me to become the woman I am today.

Did you know “The American Society of Training and Development found that people are 65 percent likely to meet a goal after committing to another person? Their chances of success increase to 95 percent when they build in ongoing meetings with their partners to check in on their progress.” [Source] 

I am who I am, in large part because I have a really great tribe.

Specifically, I have the best hype-girls.

The best.

My friends are borderline delusional…

Hope is a feeling of expectation and desire for a certain thing to happen.
