Making friends as a grown-up takes a little courage. And sometimes…you just have to follow Dr. John Deloney’s advice and be the weird one who goes first. 😂

15 years ago, I asked my husband for “friends” for my birthday — he rented a room at a cute lunch spot — I invited some women to join me — fast forward, a handful became my ride-or-dies.

We’ve celebrated babies, marriages, businesses + answered prayers. We’ve walked through heartbreak, loss, disappointment + hard seasons.

Community doesn’t just happen.

Go first. Be available. Be vulnerable. HAVE FUN.

Because friendships have to get OUT of the group chat and INTO real life to become community.

Girl, if you’re waiting for someone to invite you…

Maybe it’s your turn. ❤️

Be weird. Go first. See what God does.
