A breast cancer diagnosis and hearing others speak at a friend's funeral service lead Shari Leid to think about how she was, or wasn't, expressing gratitude and the lessons learned from the women in her life. So she embarked on a journey to speak with 50 women who had made a difference in her life and tell them about their impact.
Listen to our talk about how she got started, how it really has changed her life...and pictures of shoes. :)
Her process lead to an inspiring book called The 50/50 Friendship Flow: Life Lessons From And For My Girlfriends.
Here's a recap of her 5-step 50/50 Friendship Flow Challenge: - Set a date. One-on-One. (Via FaceTime or Zoom is fine)
- Take time to set your intention and think about what you want to share with your friend. Let go of your own ego.
- Sit with your friend and practice listening first.
- Share your admiration, observations, and ask questions. Let your 50/50 Friendship Flow friend know that you see her (or him). Create a dialogue around learning about what your friend brings to your life
- and finally, write it down, take a photo, keep a journal, capture that moment.
