Can you imagine those peer-pressured Ryan Nugent-Hopkins Jersey Youth , awkward years in high school without someone to talk to?a best girlfriend, a sister or a radical aunt? Ironically, that's the time when you're most centered on yourself, and yet it's precisely when you need to connect with others. In the book, Girlfriends, authors Carmen Renee Berry and Tamara Traeder state Sam Gagner Jersey Youth , ?They (girlfriends) are not only essential for coping with our day-to-day frustrations or sharing private jokes, they help us limp through a crises and, in the long run, help us grow as women and human beings.?


While there is an inherent emphasis in our society on individuality, a woman's path in life is not meant to be traveled as a lone Goddess. The connection you make with others, whether they are friends Oscar Klefbom Jersey Youth , family or strangers, is what gives your life meaning. With the exception of some religious orders, in which monks vow to live in solitude, most of us need other people (or at least a pet) to add texture to our lives. Studies show that social connections have a positive effect on our well-being. Research noted in the Girlfriends book proves that a woman's development is very much tied into the personal connections she makes in life, whereas a man's development relies more upon his independence and self-reliance.


Some say the Internet is the ultimate connection for everyone in the world. The Internet cannot, however Markus Granlund Jersey Youth , replace companionship, because it disconnects you from emotions and spirit'two important feminine traits. Email can never replace the spectrum of emotions created by the physical interaction with another human being. The Internet will not teach your children how to listen to the sound of a voice with their hearts, or how to hug a friend who is hurting.


Face to face connection with others is nourishment for your soul as much as food and water are for your body. A couple of years ago, I started attending a woman's meditation group thanks to a ?connection? from my good friend Jenai, who happened to meet Simone, the woman who leads the group Kailer Yamamoto Jersey Youth , at a book signing and then told me about her. (Jenai and I got connected while volunteering for a non-profit teen girls event and then became close friends.) The women in the meditation group were from a wide range of ages (from twenties to sixties) and spiritual beliefs (from Buddhist to Christian). Most of them didn't know each other before joining the group. When we meet, we spend timing chatting about what's going on in our lives, eating, choosing tarot cards and, of course, meditating. I don't usually see any of these women outside of our group Mike Smith Jersey Youth , and yet I feel closer to them than some friends I've had all my life. We are supportive of one another, non-judgmental, and very-much connected on a spiritual level as women and as Goddesses. I try never to miss my meditation group, because I always leave with a full and grateful heart. Like chocolate, I crave that interaction, and sometimes I get to have both. In fact Alex Chiasson Jersey Youth , one night, all of us brought one chocolate dessert to share!


The connections you make during your time on earth are like a million lifelines floating in a vast ocean?each with its own unique life preserver, only a thought away from embracing you. When your world is turned upside down and you want to crawl into a shell, the best thing you can do is reach out for one of those lifelines. Helen Keller said, ?Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.? All it takes is your desire to connect.


5 Ways to Make Connections:


? Make small talk with a stranger.


? Research your family tree and call a long lost relative.


? Join a group that meets regularly?a mother's club, meditation class Kyle Brodziak Jersey Youth , women's group.


? Phone a girlfriend you don't see often?rather than sending an email.


? Spend quality time with your family.


When my sons were growing up they started playing hockey when they were 6 years old. Each of them, in their first year, scored more goals than the rest of their team combined. How did they do this?


Have you ever seen a hockey game between two teams of 6 year olds? The puck is like a magnet to them. Where ever the puck goes they follow like a swarm of bees. The game is one mass of young kids all clustered around the puck, pushing and shoving each other. It's like a rugby scrum.


The result of this is that usually the puck squirts out of the mass of bodies, slides 10 or 15 feet down the ice, and stops. A few seconds later the mass of bodies descends on it and the process starts all over again.


So how did both my sons score so many goals?


It wasn't hard to score in those games - if you could get the puck near the net. The goalie was just one of the kids Milan Lucic Jersey Youth , and he or she was just waiting their turn to join in the scrum.


On the way to the rink for each game I reminded my sons to stay away from all the other players. I would tell them when everyone gets in a clump around the puck, don't go near them. Be different. Stay about 10-15 feet away from everyone else and when the puck pops out, go get it, skate to the net and shoot.


Many times my son's team would win by a score like 12 to 0 and he'd scored all 12 goals. Actually, in one game the score ended up 9 to 1 and my son scored all 10 goals (at age 6 it's pretty easy to get turned around and go in the wrong direction at times).


That same advice can help you become more successful in your auction business - BE DIFFERENT!!


As eBay and the other auction sites grow, it becomes easier and easier to become lost in the crowd. Where there used to be 13 Elvis Presley "Blue Hawaii" 45's available at any given time Brandon Manning Jersey Youth , now there are 78. That hard to find Doric depression glass covered serving dish the used to appear once every 4-5 weeks now goes looking for bidders. Not that long ago there were just a few sellers offering digital cameras. Now it seems as if everyone is getting into the act.
