[cross-post from the Mighty Girlfriends' Club blog]
The first gathering of the Mighty Girlfriends’ Club kicks off in a little under four hours. I have to admit that I’m nervous that I very well might be the only Girlfriend at the gathering. I’ve had phone call after phone call over the past few days from friends that have had to cancel for one reason or another.
I have told myself, since the beginning, that I’m not going to let myself obsess over who attends. The company I keep is chock-full of busy, on-the-go ladies. There are no slackers in this group which is, precisely, why I invited them all.
So, I’m doing my damnedest not to take it personally when they cancel, one after one. I just so desperately want this to take off in the worst way. And I know, eventually, it will. But, right now, I’m having visions of sitting at the restaurant, alone, tonight – a Mighty Girlfriends’ Club of one.
Oh well, a club of one is better than a club of none. Eventually we’ll be two – and then four – and then more. And, truthfully, it will be easier to decide what Mighty Life List we tackle first if there are fewer to choose from, right?
