The How of Supportive Women Friendships
Patricia Morgan 2010, Embracing My Journey Guest Blogger.
Remember the popular book and movie The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood authored by Rebecca Wells? Well, maybe it wasn’t so popular with males but certainly my women friends were a buzz with talk of the “sisterhood.” Women friendships not only provide support and connection but a certain kind of intellectual stimulation, not unlike what Daniel Goleman describes in Emotional Intelligence. He states, “Our humanity is most evident in our feelings.” My most valued experience with women friends includes moments of authenticity and tender feelings honored.
