Green Flag Goodness

Red Flag?
​Meet Green Flag 💚

I think we’re all familiar with the term “red flag”  as a warning sign about a person’s behavior? While we may not immediately recognize the unhealthy or manipulative habit, we understand we need to be on the look out.

But, what about the inverse of that? Aren’t there also positive traits we should be watching for? ​

Recently I learned the term “green flag,” and I love the concept!

Hello friends!

I’m so happy you are here. 🥰

Today, a brief note . . .  because I am indulging in time with one of my all-time favorite humans.  💕

Darcy and I met when we were 10 years old. Initially, we bonded over sports and potato chip cookies (her Mother’s specialty that really are better than they sound 😉). And, even though we haven’t lived in the same state as one another since high school graduation, our original connection has not only lasted. It has strengthened.

When I first saw the post above about Green Flags, I took it in as inspirational. Reminders for the kind of person I want to be for others.

Then, when Darcy arrived, I re-read the list. Yep. She checks every single one. ✅

Wait. Not checks. She gets gold stars everywhere!. ✨⭐️✨

So, as we talk and giggle and treat ourselves to massages, I am truly basking in the gift of friendship.

I hope we all have people in our life who are full of green flags.
Who lift us up.
Help us be better.
And love us through and through.

And, I hope we can all be Green Flag people for others whom we connect with and care about.

Until next week, big light and love 💚
