Women are born multi-taskers. Our lives are so busy, however, many of us are loosing contact with our most valuable social support, our girlfriends. Here are ten great ways for busy women to multi-task and foster
precious relationship of a friend. 1.Forget who rang who last. Pick up
phone and call. We never know what is REALLY happening with our friend, especially if we haven't spoken for a time. Don't hesitate.
2.Once a month, have a "get ready for
week" cooking gathering with 1-3 of your friends. Bring your slow cookers, cook whole chickens, debone them, cut up veggies to place in bags, bake some bread, make homemade pasta, cook tofu, etc. You will be ready for a week or two worth of recipes by mixing and matching. Host "buys" and get reimbursed or other arrangements are made
3.Saturday garage sales. For those who love to and those who don't, in lean times, garage sales can make a big difference. Meet for coffee with
newspaper, map, list, and tape measure. Plan your attack. Know your sizes, special desires and go for it.
4.Exercise: Meet for a walk in
park, walk
golf course in winter, aqua jog, or pop an exercise video in once a week and do together. All of these put you side/side to have a catch up.
5.Charity work or your favorite cause: Volunteer
power of more than one to a church or charity organization and feel great for doing so. Some example are : Habitat for humanity, Girl Scouts/Guides, school fairs, senior citizens, and your own local church are just a few.
