Building Your Tribe: Seeking and maintaining your divine and deep connections

Valentines Day is coming up! Although I'm really excited to love on my beau this Love Day I'm really even more excited to spread some love to my friends!

Lately I've been putting alot of energy and focus into building my tribe. I have learned the significance of having a true and trusted group of women in your life to love you though this journey. As we dive into building a life we love we also have to consider the people who are going to be in it for the long haul. Im at a point where I recognize the tremendous weight that a good tribe holds.

These are the people who are never more than a phone call, coffee date or snail mailed letter away. That are the sweet souls who are there to celebrate and encourage you, listen to and learn with you, speak to your heart when you need it and who know the power of simply being present.

They don't all necessarily have to be your closest or best friend but you know that their good vibes are there to share and that you can depend on them to pour goodness into you often.

But, I love loving on my tribe as well! I love being all of those things to the women in my life who inspire, encourage and empower me.

As I build my tribe and actively seek out strong and loving women to connect with I am recognizing the real effort that must go into maintaining these sweet and divine connections. It can be through a brunch date, a coffee call, a mailboxed love letter or a shared article that you know would interest them. Letting each and every friend know that you're thinking of them, that you care and that you're so incredibly thankful for them being a part of your tribe is important and a true labor of love.

I hope that you've built a tribe! My wish for you is that you have been able to surround yourself with the love, support and empowerment that you deserve. Also, make sure that you're a meaningful part of someone else's tribe. Be aware of what friends are going through and take steps to celebrate, support and encourage them as they need it!

My ontological coach recently shared these words with my coaching group that I think really capture what is is to have a tribe:

I’m going to stand for you to truly become yourself.  I’m going to relate to you as if you’re the powerful woman you’re already becoming, already.  I’m going to hold you accountable for showing up in ways that are consistent with this deeper truth of who you are, and support you in taking risks in what you’re feeling called to.  I’m totally going to stand with you and for you. *author unknown*

I absolutely love love love this and I'm so excited for the divine and deep connections that women are making all over the world.
