But as I became older and my attitude and confidence became stronger, I realized it was okay to make friends with my female counterparts, just say no to the toxic ones. This has worked for me so far.

I love that you've started going to the local knitting group - I'm dying to learn to crochet and hopefully I'll find a group back in Sydney!

Most women are really friendly and supportive, then there are a few who are just... well, major bitches. Just avoid them. Don't hang out with them, no matter how cool you think they are, how famous they are, how much you think they can do for you. Being a bitch is NOT cool. Being mean is NOT cool. Behaving like you are better than everyone else is also NOT cool. Send them message by just letting them stew in their own broth, and choose to to hang out with loving, supportive, fun people. This is also a lesson I think we should all learn. I wish I could pass it around at the next BlogHer ;-) I hope to be able to attend the next BlogCamp! They look so fun and relaxed.

The close kindred relationships we happen upon are so important. It amazes me how much "drama" there can be in life that is so unnecessary, and the result of some craziness brought on by those who just never left the high school mentality. Heres to being able to recoginize, filter, and grasp onto what's important! Wow Spud, so well said. The close kindred relationships we happen upon are so important.
