My friends showed me affection I will never forget in the form of a sexy purple dress. We were on vacation in the Caribbean, and a rainy day sent us away from the beach and towards a resort boutique. One of my girlfriends pulled a gorgeous, very slinky eggplant-colored sleeveless dress off the rack. It had a deep v-neck, low back and was adorned with rhinestones. She held it up to me and said, Try this one. I laughed, knowing my history of high-necked shirts and long-sleeve sweaters, but took it into the dressing room anyway.
Have you ever gotten a piece of advice that really resonated with you? Maybe it came from a trusted friend or hit you at exactly the right time. Good advice helps us navigate relationships one of the hardest and most beautiful parts of being human.
They all said, Buy that dress. I was sure they were kidding, but they circled me and showered me with love, assuring me that even though Id never dared imagine I could pull off such a thing, with this dress, I could. One by one, they convinced me that even though Id always felt like the ugliest duckling, they saw a swan draped in purple silk.
