Finally, January is over and February is here. It is still cold and still dark for far too long, but I have never loved January and this January has been interesting to say the least, but as some would say, we keep it moving or some like me may even say: "God is good."

I’ve been thinking a lot about relationships and not romantic ones, but friendships. For me, friendships with girlfriends, in particular black women, feed my soul. I am a real girl’s girl. In fact, if another woman says she doesn’t have girlfriends - it’s an automatic red card from me. How can you live a life as a woman, as a black woman and not have a single black female friend to bounce off from? Laugh with? Cry with? It makes no sense to me.
