Buy the damn purse

Don't you just love giving something to someone that really needs that some thing?

Sometimes its love, sometimes its an attentive ear, and loving advice, but many times its just space to BE. Space to be whatever it is that other person needs to be, even if it makes us uncomfortable, because we want so badly for our loved ones to be happy and giving them space to feel their feelings of heart ache, confusion or sadness is really hard to watch.

Though it is hard, I believe space to BE is the best gift of all when you really love someone. When we allow space for them to BE, we are placing our faith in a bigger plan and trusting that they will be able to work it out. We are empowering them to feel their feelings and reach for something better.

But there are SOMETIMES when the something someone needs,...Uh, yes! I said "needs", is a new purse, and that "someone" that "needed" a new purse was me!

Since my recent toe dipping in the girl water I've been carrying a little navy Coach make-up bag as a purse and calling it a clutch. It was great at first. My wallet, Chapstick, lipstick, keys and phone all fit in it, pretty tightly, but it worked. Until I discovered I'm too absent minded and in the moment to keep up with a clutch. I walked off without it a couple times already.

So, you can see why I "needed" a new purse. And guess what,... I got a new purse - I got a new purse - I got a new purse. You're imagining me skipping and singing right?

It was a little out of the budget my partner and I agreed to for the shopping trip, but my friend and I thought it was the perfect new purse. It was just a little bit bigger than what I had with the "clutch", it had 2 zipper compartments, an outside pocket and a handy shoulder strap.

The only problem was the budget. I said to my friend, It wasn't meant to be,...And she suggested we have them hold it. So, we did and went about our day.

After we had parted ways my friend sent me this text message: Buy the purse!!!! I will give you the difference and call it your b-day!!!!!!! Don't say a word......just DO IT!!!!!

I felt a little teary all of a sudden and texted back: You're going to make this girlie girl cry.

Her response: Lol.......whatever!!! Cry all you want.....but buy that damn purse!!!!!! Lol

So, to answer the question, don't you just love giving something to someone that really needs that some thing, the answer is yes.

Sometimes it's love and understand with a little space to learn and grow and sometimes it's a purse.
