The Friendship Tour | Friendship, Community, Faith, How to Make Friends
Hi Ladies! Let’s talk about FRIENDSHIP! Are you trying to figure out how to make friends or keep friends as an adult? Are you longing for deeper, more meaningful connections in your local community? Would life be easier, richer or more fun if you had a village of people you could really count on? You’re in the right place! The Friendship Tour celebrates and explores the true gift of friendship. We talk about making friends well into adulthood, keeping friends even when we have transient lifestyles and various demands on our time, and creating more meaningful connections with people who share our passions and values. I’m Cecelia - wife, mom, daughter, sister, and friend. I’ve moved a lot as a military spouse, and I’ve had the pleasure of making new friends in communities around the globe. Keeping those friendships going has been an honor and a privilege. Still, I don’t get to see or talk to my friends as often as I would like. So, I started The Friendship Tour as a way to connect and reconnect with friends near and far. Somewhere along the way, though, I discovered that friendship is not only beautiful, but complicated! So, let’s explore friendship together…the ups, the downs, the joys, the frustrations, and the FUN. Why? So we can ALL enjoy the community and sisterhood we need and want. Next steps? 1. Grab a seat and maybe a tissue or two and join me on The Friendship Tour! 2. Join the conversation about friendship at bit.ly/thefriendshiptourpodcast. Interested in Connecting Further?

The Friendship Tour is back for Season 2! In this trailer, I’ll give you a quick overview of the new season - what’s new, what’s the same, and what to expect from each episode.
In short, The Friendship Tour is about women making, maintaining, and celebrating healthy friendships. We laugh, we cry, and everything in between as we tell uplifting stories about finding our tribe of sisters and holding on to those sisters through life’s ups and downs.
Hopefully, you’ll hear something that’ll make you want to pick up the phone and call an old friend or get out there and make a new friend. Why? Because we weren’t made to do life alone. We were made to be in fellowship with one another. We need friends!
Thanks for joining me on The Friendship Tour. I’m so glad you’re here!

My childhood neighbor and lifelong friend, Nadeen Gayle, is back to tell us why she's a self-proclaimed, "nosey friend"...and why we should be ALL be nosey friends.
A nosey friend calls and doesn't mind if your baby is crying or the dog won't stop barking in the background. Why? Because she wants to hear what's REALLY going on in your life...the good and the bad. Mostly, though, she wants to hear your voice and to know that you're okay.
That's just the beginning of the conversation, though. Nadeen is passionate about matters of friendship, and it's fun to hear her thoughts on various friendship topics.

I'm one of those annoying people who thinks spouses should be best friends, and it's entirely my parents' fault. They've been married for 54 years, and are still the best of friends. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, MOM AND DAD!!! I LOVE YOU!!!

Lauren and I love to talk about how we've been friends forever, but we just realized how much help our friendship had along the way. In the early days of our relationship, Lauren's mom, Ms. Edna, taught us how to be friends with one another, and she showed us what healthy adult friendships look like and sound like. Ms. Edna was both a friendship mentor and model, and our friendship is strong today because of the lessons she taught us as kids: reciprocity, keeping in touch, playfulness, prioritizing our friends, and so much more. Thank you, Ms. Edna!

SUMMER'S HERE! But instead of enjoying summer, I was running around trying to do too much. When I told a friend about it, he told me to slow down and just enjoy life, and I received that.

What do you do when you don't know what to pray or how to pray? How do you pray prayers that get through? I'll tell you what I did. I got help from a praying friend! My praying friend, Ashley Smith, prayed for me when I needed it most - during my season of infertility.
After many years of infertility, I was discouraged and my heart had grown somewhat cold to the idea of motherhood. Still, God had a plan. He used friends to encourage my faith and other friends to fast and pray on my behalf.
In the end, God blessed me THREE late in life children. He was, indeed, glorified.
Join Ashley and me as we discuss prayer and friendship.

Everyone who visits Japan marvels at the beautiful cherry blossoms, Mt. Fuji, and so much more. You know what's even better, though? The people.
My recent trip to Japan wasn't just any vacation. It was a series of beautiful reunions with a dear friend, three former colleagues, a mom friend, and my college roommate.
