We welcome @yechee as returning "guest judge" for this week!
THANK YOU for agreeing to do this again, Yechee! 💗

@yechee
For this week:
1️⃣ There's a long-standing belief that genuine female friendships are rare to find or difficult to sustain. Has this influenced the way you approach or interact with other women in your space? Are there aspects of female friendships that you have come to appreciate the most, and how have you also navigated the challenges that comes with building something intentional with females?
Existe una antigua creencia de que las amistades femeninas genuinas son raras de encontrar o difíciles de mantener. ¿Ha influido esto en la forma en que te acercas o interactúas con otras mujeres en tu espacio? ¿Hay aspectos de las amistades femeninas que has llegado a apreciar más? ¿Y cómo has superado también los desafíos que conlleva construir algo intencional con mujeres?
~ 𝐀𝐍𝐃 / 𝐎𝐑 ~
~ 𝐘 / 𝐎 ~
2️⃣ Tell us about a memorable friendship experience that made you realize you had found someone who would always have your back. What did they do that left such a lasting impression on you, and how has that friendship changed your view about life?
Cuéntanos sobre una experiencia de amistad memorable que te hizo darte cuenta de que habías encontrado a alguien que siempre te respaldaría. ¿Qué hicieron que te dejó una impresión tan duradera y cómo esa amistad cambió tu visión de la vida?

Happy new week, LOH! Looking forward to reading your wonderful entries again. Good luck!🌺

Hello everyone
Here is my entry

Great questions @yechee!!!
Good luck Ladies of Hive!
Make sure you read over the rules again, and bear in mind the importance of sourcing your images or quotes, and may the greatest imagination win!
Seven suggestions (reminders) to consider:
Guard your password and keys carefully, and only publish with the posting key,
Use your active key only for wallet transactions, Keychain, Peaklock, and Hivesigner
The Master Password and the Owner key are only used to reset compromised passwords,
DO NOT lose your passwords; copy and store offline,
Do not publish other people's work, be it photos or written, without credit, and be sure to source all of your work, even if it is your own.
An introduceyourself tag is used only once , and
Do Not open any links in memos or comments that you do not know who they belong to. If it sounds too good to be true it probably is, so the old saying goes. There is nothing free here.
Buena suerte chicas!!!
Asegúrese de leer las reglas nuevamente y tenga en cuenta la importancia de dar atribución a sus imágenes o citas, y que gane la mayor imaginación!
Siete sugerencias (recordatorios) a considerar:
Proteja sus contraseñas con cuidado y solo publique con la clave de publicación,
Use su clave activa solo para transacciones de billetera, llavero, Peaklock y Hivesigner,
La contraseña del propietario solo se usa para restablecer contraseñas comprometidas,
NO pierda sus contraseñas; copiar y almacenar sin conexión,
No publique el trabajo de otras personas, ya sea fotos o escrito, sin crédito,
asegúrese de obtener todo su trabajo, incluso si es suyo.
Una etiqueta de presentación solo se usa una vez, y
Hacer NO abrir cualquier enlace en notas o comentarios que no sepa a quién pertenecen. Si suena demasiado bueno para ser verdad, probablemente lo sea, así dice el viejo dicho. No hay nada gratis aquí.❤️

Hi, ladies! here's my entry for the activity. These are some really great questions to think about.
https://peakd.com/hive-124452/@waralotito/loh-299-una-buena-amistad-te-encuentra-o-tu-la-buscas-or-espeng
This question reminds me of my 27+ year friendship with my late Roommate, Deb. With permission of her surviving sister I have possession of Deb's remains for the day we will be buried together as roommates again and forever. 💞 ✝️
Wow, twenty seven years of friendship is no child's play here. It shows how strong the bond you shared with your friend is. May her memory always remain a cherished part of your life. Thanks for sharing.
Her "remains", you mean a part of her body or belongings.
"for the day we will be buried together as roommates again and forever. 💞 ✝️"
I don't get that; can you please be clearer.
She choose to be Cremated, I placed her mahogany urn at a special place I set aside in my home.

Last year I bought a burial plot at a very pretty cemetery for myself. I instructed my Sons to bury my best friend's Mahogany urn with me to rest together until the Lord calls our names into his glory.
The Painful void in my Heart.
I am an Executor.
Remembering my Best Friend.
This brought tears to my eyes. I'm so sorry for the void she left💜
27+ years is no easy commitment. That's admirable but sad that you had to lose her to death. I know it must've been difficult all these years without her but I'm glad you have her remains to help seal your friendship, even in death.
Sending you hugs, sis.🫂🌺

Here's my entry — and my very first Ladies of Hive contest! 💜 I wrote about the three friends who've stayed with me through every storm. Thank you for such a lovely prompt — it made me stop and appreciate them all over again.
