Create A Special Girlfriends Club To Be The Best Friend And Sister Possible

My sister, sisters-in-law and I, created this special girlfriends club to express what we mean to each other. Do you have a group of related girlfriends who mean the world to you? Then consider forming a girlfriends club of your own. Make up a jazzy name for your group and then write a few guidelines that your club stands for. Here are some thoughts and a few questions to get you started on organizing your own girlfriends club. 

Girlfriends Club rule #1: Know and value your roots!

In my girlfriends club, we each know where we came from and we are aware of the value of our shared family history. My great-grandparents, grandparents, and parents were farmers in the Midwest. Being in nature and working hard is part of my familial history. Even though I don’t live in the Midwest now, I understand how my family history influences who I am today. I also know that I am not limited by my past; I live my life integrating all of who I was and who I become each day.

Your turn:

What are your familial roots? 

Are you aware of how do your values influence your life?

Girlfriends Club rule #2: Create and become aware your special guidelines; ours are “veto powers.”

So many times in life people want us to do things, things that we really don’t want to do. It takes strength and courage to say no and not go along with the status quo. Our power ultimately begins and ends with us, not with someone else.

Your turn:

What are your special powers? What about your girlfriends? 

How do you each use your powers?

Girlfriends Club rule #3: Honor your uniqueness.

Consider selecting an object to represent the uniqueness for your girlfriends club. We have tiaras to remind us that we are the royalty of our lives. The newest member of our club, our niece received a tiara on the day of her birth too! After all, if we don’t treat ourselves like a queen who will?

Your turn:

How are you unique?

A beautiful article and it is so important we find ways to honor each other and live our own passion! Thank you for the inspiration Blaze!

Oh, Blaze, you are ringing all my bells with this one! I am luck enough to have started life with three sisters and later added a sister-in-law. We have our own sisterhood. I also had a first cousin who was a close friend and shared my roots and values.

In college four of us formed The Group and were obnoxious enough to actually call ourselves that, at least to ourselves. We all came from Lancaster County, PA, but met in college. Guess what–we’re still meeting. We just restored a picture of ourselves at age 19. This spring, when we all meet in NYC, we are going to recreate that picture–same poses, 44 years later.

I also have two former college president friends who get together at least once a year. This year one of our group got a grant and will be treating the other two to a spiritual pilgrimage in England. I feel so blessed.

I also am a member of a mastermind group with our coach Christine Kane, who teaches us how to support each other, celebrate our victories, and offer our fears in safety.

You are a member of that group too, Blaze, and I delight in this opportunity to celebrate YOU. You share your knowledge of transformation so generously, and you have discovered the power of sisterhood. Thank you.

Blaze!

What a wonderful article and what a divine idea. It’s such a great reminder of the power that is created when that soul-filled feminine energy comes together – and how important it is to honor and support those connections. I’m celebrating my best friend’s birthday this coming Sunday – and when we go to lunch, I think I’m going to insist that we wear tiaras!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Many thanks for the article, it was interesting and compelling. I discovered my way here through Google, I’ll return one more time :)
