Three Years of Friendship Advice

It’s National Friendship Day! I’m not sure how that’s supposed to play out in real life, so I am “celebrating” by acknowledging I’ve given three years of friendship advice at The HerStories Project.

And in those three years I’ve never repeated a question, a fact that is not a credit to me. It’s a credit to the fabulous readers out there who offer their conundrums for everyone to consider and learn from as well. I consider the column a community spot, not “my” spot. I love the conversations that happen in the comments as readers weigh in on all sides of an issue and offer insights to help.

We are always taking new questions at The HerStories Project so please keep writing your anonymous questions in the easy to use form.

  1. You are the friendship guru! Thanks for putting this post together and having all of the links listed her. I know I’ve missed quite a few and now I can catch up. Congratulations on three years–wow, can’t believe it’s been that long already!

  2. Thank you for this lovely links Nina. Friends are people that are supposed to be true and honest with you. We do not even know, sometimes, how or where we met. We just know we are good friends. Sometimes we help one another with things. Or just hang out with each other to share the company. Many times we do things together for fun and excitement. When we are feeling down or blue our friends are the ones that we can count on to be there for us. Without hesitation they will come running to help out with any situation. As a friend we also return the favor. Friends do not have to beg each other for stuff or their friendship. It is something real and something that no one else can take away from you. It is truly one of the most treasured gifts we can receive as people.

    Cheers then
