y Anna McCarthy<br />

I'm<br />

taking a deep breath and<br />

am going to be real with<br />

you. This is a hard topic<br />

for me.<br />

Over the course of a<br />

failed marriage, church<br />

falling outs, parenting<br />

issues, career changes<br />

and a whole gamut of<br />

unexpected life<br />

obstacles, I’ve tasted<br />

the joy and healing of<br />

healthy friendships –<br />

I’ve equally swallowed<br />

the searing sting of<br />

painful ones.<br />

This blog comes from<br />

both a painful and joyful<br />

place.<br />

But before I offer you<br />

words of wisdom in the<br />

friendship department,<br />

let me set the stage for<br />

my perspective.<br />

I am a former pastor. I’ve<br />

listened to countless<br />

stories of people’s hurts<br />

in this area. I’ve written<br />

a book on forgiveness.
