One of the reasons why I can continue to be friends with Krista and Lydia for such a long time. I've known these women for some time, mind you. But you know what makes us friends? We're completely unique in our own way. We're ALL WRITERS but we're not really competing with each other. Krista would be doing the same thing as I am doing but I am not a threat to her because she has her own style and technique. Lydia is an author with published books and I am trying to get books published and yet, I am not a threat to her because we're both different.
We're unique.
This same principle applies to you as a professional and you as a friend. You are different. Even when you're supposed to bite each others' heads off, you don't because you appreciate each other and value each others' style and work. We understand each other and appreciate. Very important.

Back then, when my kids were little, we brought in a family of maids to help with...well, just about everything, and we were like two families merged into one. They ate what we ate, we sleep, they sleep, we shop, they shop, they joke, we laugh, we joke, they laugh...for me, the maid I hired was more like a sister and side-kick to me.
For that few years, I was dependent on her to mind-read my schedule and when I need or don't need help. She picked things up quickly and we ended up having lots of moments whereby we were in sync. Today, two of them are on my Facebook and we were gleefully chatting over Facebook Messenger since they've just discovered the wonders of the Internet and Social Media.
Since we were more like partners in crime, I f…
