I have been bruised by the actions of other women. Women I consider friends. Haven't we all been there at some time in our life? There are days when you just don't want to do friendship. Some days it is just too much work. Days when you are burdened by so many heart issues that leave you depleted and treading water. We all have those days. Some of us have those weeks. I promise. We are all in the same boat. I am guilty of fading out for bits of time and assuming my friends will understand. Sometimes they do. Other times, not so much. Yet, I take it personally when it happens to me. Go figure. I am working on fixing this in my own life. If someone sends you a text, or reaches out to you, be BOLD and HONEST. Let them know that you are in a valley and that you will get back to them when the fog lifts. Let them know that they are important enough to be communicated with. It will take even more work to mend a wounded spirit from an unintended slight than to just admit that you need space for a bit. I am so guilty of not communicating when I need to, and it sometimes leads to hurt feelings and misplaced anger. Love boldly. Communicate with truth and authenticity.
