"...the Relator theme pulls you toward people you already know...you do derive a great deal of pleasure and strength from being around your close friends...Once the initial connection has been made, you deliberately encourage a deepening of the relationship." - pg 110 from Now, Discover Your Strengths (Buckingham & Clifton)

Does this sound like you...?

This is why I miss my girlfriends.

"Motherhood can be lonely! Working full-time and and having two kids makes me miss my girlfriend time so much. There is so little time to connect with them like old-times.

"Even when I do find time, I feel guilty because I'm taking time away from my kids."

Play dates help.

I try to plan play dates at the park so I can get 20 minutes of time, albeit frequently interrupted, with my best friends. Between their schedules and mine and nap times, it's tough, but I'm relentless with my attempts.

I have also found that walking dates with my friends are a great way to entertain the baby, while getting exercise and some MUCH needed girl talk. Besides, the 3-way multi-tasking feeds my Achiever theme so well!
