We all need a network of friends or family to help us celebrate our victories. To support us through the tough times. Life is too crazy to not have someone to off-load heavy topics to. Someone to listen, not judge. That person that will give you their honest opinion, but understands how important the delivery of it will be. My Tribe understands. Because they know me.
Tribe
/trīb/
noun
1. a social division in a traditional society consisting of families or communities linked by social, economic, religious, or blood ties, with a common culture and dialect.
A tribe is a small, close-knit group of people with something in common. Small enough to feel personal. But large enough to make a difference. It’s a baseball team, a book club, a family. Tribes are a community of kind and compassionate people that like glue, stick together. Without a tribe you are solitaire, a lone wolf.
You Need Your Tribe
Tribes begin many times by accident. You may stumble upon your group or they might seek you out. Because of similar interests, you become closer and enjoy the common objectives and ambitions each has to offer. They become your family. Your safety net. You need this group for encouragement, and much more.
When we want to give in, tribes help us stay strong. They remind us that life isn’t perfect and that it’s ok to laugh at ourselves. These people make us feel comfortable with who we are. We need these people, just to know that we’re not crazy!
WE NEED TRIBES! “Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, call it a family. Whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one.” —Jane Howard
My People
I have been blessed to be surrounded by a tribe of strong, beautiful, God loving women. They have always and will forever get me. These women are my therapy, but a whole lot cheaper.
Mom
Mom
God gave me the kindest, most selfless person to be my Mom. She is stronger than anyone I know. Her life is the most inspiring story of resilience that I have seen. She is loving, kind, supportive, and unwavering in her faith. My mom leads by example, and is an amazing role model. I can only hope to someday be half the woman she is.
Pam & Melissa
I have 2 amazing sisters that have always been by my side. My first friends. These two have taught me how to get along, to put on makeup, and the importance of keeping a secret. My sisters are the ones that I have inside jokes with about mom and dad. They laugh with me and cry with me.
Jackie, Cheryl, Cara, & Debbie
Included in this crazy bunch are my sister in laws and mother in law. These people are not only my family, they are my best friends! Some of my greatest belly laughs come from these women. It’s the only way we can stay married and sane.
Tami
My oldest friend knows too many secrets to not keep her in my tribe. She is my rock and go to gal. We don’t see each other as often as we would like, but when we do, it’s like we have never been apart. Everyone needs someone like that in their life!
Brooke & Becki
My favorite tribe members are my daughters. These two mini-me’s pick me up anytime I’m down. They are my biggest fans and I am theirs. Being with them gives me peace. I love watching them grow as mothers and wives, and navigate this wild ride of life.
Find Your Tribe
The best thing that you can do for your well being, is to go out and seek your people. Look within yourself to find whatever makes you happy. Whatever sparks your interests. Whatever your passion is. Search for those people. The ones’ that are like-minded and have the same enthusiasm that you have about something. These are the ones that you will fight for and fight to keep.
Step outside your comfort zone and approach them with an open mind and listening ears. Take interest in them too. Search for your group. Look for your support. Find your tribe.
You Have Made Me Who I Am
And to my tribe, you ladies are amazing. I would not be who I am today if It wasn’t for you. Thank you Tribe. I love you hard!! – Susie Pea
