Girlfriends are the best!

This evening I attended a dinner for the Jefferson Awards sponsored by the Commercial Appeal. It was a fabulous event! I was nominated by my good friend, Julie and selected as one of the many nominee's in the city that volunteer their time and talents to help others. I was so honored to even be considered as part of this group of nominee's. The 10 selected winners where some incredible people that I was so impressed by - I was so moved by each of their stories and what they do for others. I did not feel I have accomplished enough to even be nominated but I tell ya.......Girlfriends always got your back and just when you think what you do does not go noticed or when you have a bad day.......Girlfriends are there to cheer you on and encourage you! I so appreciate all my Girlfriends that I have!

This evening taught me what real volunteerism is all about and how special Girlfriends can be! As I previously wrote in my blog.....The Lesson...The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards. They are the ones that care!
