com·pan·ion

¹    /kəmˈpænyən/ [kuhm-pan-yuhn] noun

1.

a person who is frequently in the company of, associates with, or accompanies another: my son and his two companions.

2.

a person employed to accompany, assist, or live with another in the capacity of a helpful friend.

Can you imagine a friend who always listened, never disagreed with you, and loved you no matter what? A friend who was happy to go wherever you wanted, whenever your heart desired? Bella is that friend to me, because that is her only job and purpose. She puts her whole heart into it, and hasn't let me down the way some people have... Even when she accidentally makes a pee pee in the house. As humans, we are naturally complicated and complex. Dogs are simple, loving, loyal creatures that are forever friends. Could we use the way a dog values friendship and companionship in our own lives? Could you sit there and listen to your husband talk about how awful his day was without saying a word? Could you be genuinely happy and excited to do everything with one person? A dog's love is not the same as a human partnership, but it is outstanding to have. Bella is always happy to accompany me wherever I may go, whenever I want to go. She lets me cry and hold her, or trick her into thinking I threw a tennis ball without any animosity. She doesn't resent me or judge me. This bond is a strong one that will only grow as she grows, and I know every day, I will have her to come home to. She will always be happy to see me and glad to join me. How could someone not love a bond like this? Bella is still learning her manners, but I have learned patience from her puppy-like behavior. She has taught me what a true friend is, and how strong a bond can truly be between two completely different creatures.

Modern Day Goddess

Females... I'd say 90% of them want to be treated like Goddess', and 10% think they are a Goddess. regardless of what we feel, I think all of us, as women, have a Goddess somewhere in our soul. What is a Goddess? You might ask... Well men often view a Goddess as a beautiful, "hot or sexy" woman, with a bangin' bod. Or a "dream woman" that in reality could never exist or be "attainable". Some men believe this so strongly to the point where women are starting to believe it as well. Besides Venus razor commercials, we often times feel like we can't even compete with the type of Bikini clad beach babes in sports illustrated. Some of us are housewives, Mothers, factory workers... Soldiers... Or better yet, Marines. But the fact is, WE ARE ALL GODDESS'. A fighter, a lover, a strong, reliable woman is a Goddess. We all need to embrace this inner Goddess and do ourselves a favor and cultivate it. That inner strength is amazing when you feel it. Look up the Greek Goddess' and their stories for inspiration! Persephone, Hera, Athena, Artemis, and Calypso! Be the modern day Goddess you have deep down in your soul, and embrace everything beautiful in you. Men will do the same... I hope.
