Yesterday I look a couple hours off work and headed 2 hours south to attend Premier Designs training with the ladies in the Premier group I started with. I was great to see these encouraging and inspiring ladies! I don't go to training every month there, because of the two hours (one-way) drive, but I am thankful for the times I am able to.
One of the biggest blessings that I have found through Premier is getting to know these amazing women. I expected the pretty jewelry, the income, the business-y part of things, but not the relationships that I would gain.
The point of this post is not to gush about Premier designs (which I could do all day, by the way, just ask me!), but to encourage you to find your peeps! Find those people who are kindred spirits, who enjoy things you enjoy, who have kids your kids age, etc. It is SO important, especially for women, to find those relationships and surround yourself with encouraging women. Life is not meant to be lived alone. It isn't meant to be lived with JUST your spouse, or JUST your kids. We are meant to live in a community of family and friends, those people who encourage and uplift us.
Now, I realize that not all your family or friends are uplifting. There are people in our lives that we cannot avoid, and those people are meant to be sandpaper to smooth your rough edges. However, you should not waste all your time and energy on these people. Life is too short to fill your time with people who put you down or discourage you. Find those people who love you for you, and no matter what, will be there to encourage you.
Who are your peeps?
