Wanted: True Friend

MWF (Married White Female) searching for a new friend who… 

lives in Bossier City, but will consider candidates who live in Shreveport. 
is planning to live here for the foreseeable future (a plus). 
has their shit together. 
is generally happy, cheerful, and positive.
loves to laugh, joke, and have fun. 
is open and honest. 
won’t get offended if I drop an F-bomb. 
stays current on pop culture. 
is dedicated to personal growth. 
is a non-smoker. 
can carry on a conversation that’s easy and light-hearted. 
is spiritual but not necessarily religious. 
likes to do any of the following activities: eat, shop, get nails done, Sunday brunch, drink coffee, wine, yoga, jog/walk, Zumba, movies. 

We don’t need to be BFF’s, but good friends would do! 

Writing this "want ad" (which no, I'm not ACTUALLY taking out an ad for a friend) was inspired by a book I recently finished reading, MWF Seeking BFF. It was a very thought-provoking, true story about making new friends and friendship. There were many parallels that I could draw to myself since I also moved to a new place a few years ago and would like to make more local friends. Reading the book and thinking about my own life, has really invigorated me to put more effort into meeting/making new friends. It was also the impetus for the opportunity to join a book club that was reading the book this past month. I had a blast at the book club meeting this past week, met some really cool girls and even got to Skype with the author, Rachel Bertsche! How cool is that? I love the trailer she made for her book; it really explains the premise well.
