I would be happy to write to your blog. Happy day Ronit http://www.behappyinlife.com Hi Rori,

I think we share the same philosophy that feeling whole, strong and powerful is the most empowering state to be and love and friendships are just side effect of us feeling happy within ourselves.
I would be happy to write to your blog.
Happy day

The hardest thing for so many of us is to care about a man without wanting something from him. It always seems like a dance of trying to get our needs met. The whole concept of friendship, to me, is that you're on a team with someone - and for most of us, we were taught more how to be competitive than how to be open. More how to get what you want and need instead of share what there is. It's very hard for most of us to trust a man to be as strong, caring, thoughtful, effective, disciplined, giving and accomplishing as we women are. We were taught to see relationships in a way that hasn't worked out for so many. This post is such a great start. I work with women on how to be able to love and partner with a man by feeling whole, strong and powerful themselves, instead of looking for that in him and pretty much throwing ourselves under the bus at all turns. I'd love to read your thoughts and comments about my work at http://blog.havetherelationshipyouwant - I have a sense we could have some feisty discussions, and perhaps you'd be interested in guest posting...Rori I love this talk about friendship.
