My Soul Seeks a Circle of Friends

This week I am reading and reviewing Dr. Suzan Johnson Cook’s Becoming a Woman of Destiny for Urban Reviews. While reading, I thought of a personal challenge I am going through with a friend. I’ve been down this road before with other friendships, so I know what the end will be.We will get through this. However, I wonder should I form a Destiny Circle, composed of girl friends who would like to join forces for the safety and upkeeping of our souls. There have been times when I’ve felt spiritual stronger. I’ve witnessed and encouraged my friends. Then there are other times when I’ve been so weak that if it weren’t for my twin telepathy (joke) I surely would have run off into a ditch. My good friends have carried me. I wish to hold hands with a circle of women who don’t want to talk politics[including publishing politics] or business, but to talk about how are souls are doing. I want that.

Don’t you?

Usually when church gossip makes broadcast news, I ignore it. As a publicist and former journ, it’s very easy to do, because I understand the Spin machine. But this last news...I’m tired.
