We all need a reminder on ways to be a better friend. I have said this numerous times, I think that friendships are one of the best gifts we are given to help us through life! I love my girlfriends and we have been there for each other through the greatest joys and the hardest trials in each of our lives. They are an amazing group of women that inspire me to soar and be the best Loren I can be. True friendships are hard to come by so when you do find one, you have to cherish it. Like any relationship, you get back what you put in! All relationships are work! I believe that you should look for ways to be a better friend because just as people evolve, so do friendships.
Here is my advice on ways of be a better friend:
– Invest time with your friend.
– Pay attention to the growth of the relationship. You want to grow together not apart.
– Realize when needs have changed.
– Communicate. Texting and emailing are great tools. However, it’s nice to hear a voice.
– Make dates to catch up.
– Remind your friends that you are there and that you care.
