This is a story of sorrow, anger and healing. This is a story where I’ll talk about my “friend”, and how I needed to heal our emotional connection as well as help her heal her heart. You see, my friend came to me a couple months ago and told me of issues she was going though. I tried being supportive by being a good friend and listening being encouraging. Well a couple weeks after that we got into a big fight (yelling, crying, the whole fireworks of an explosive argument). Of course as any bad argument would go, I probably said somethings that I shouldn’t have said. I’ve felt bad ever since and I was even under the impression that my friend would never talk to me again. I wasn’t being a true friend and I let my emotions get the better of me.
While she is still talking to me, I feel she is still hurt by many things and she is not doing well emotionally. I decided to put together a little “Healing Hearts” gift bag. I went to Sam’s Club to purchase things for a gift bag like NIVEA twin pack . Here is something you probably didn’t know about me, I was a massage therapist for over 5 years. I know the power of touch and how it heals not only physical body but emotion heart as well. The NIVEA lotion to me represents a step to healing. The touch of lotion whether it’s self massage or just the touch of softness on the hand, can give the body just what it needs.
Along with the NIVEA I bought at Sam’s Club, I searched around and also purchased a large pack of my favorite soaps. I almost bought a giant box of chocolate candy bars but I knew I would have to finish the rest.
I decided to get things to go along with the lotion like soap, socks, a pedicure brush and candy of course! Beautiful skin and sugar, it’s what every girl needs!
My friend posted an image of the goodies I gave her, on Facebook. I hope this truly brightens her day and helps her heart heal.
On a side note I have always loved NIVEA and I personally think it smells like baby lotion, a smell I have always loved. The moisture lasts too! I’m glad I picked up that twin pack so I could have one and give one to my friend, these bottles should last us a while 🙂

What a sweet post! I think we all struggle with being a good friend. I’m sure she loved the gift… what a very kind and thoughtful gesture.

Oh!! I hope it heals things between you too, what a heartfelt post… those are hard things to deal with and harder to talk about and EVEN HARDER to try and heal – I really hope this brings you and your friend back together.
