Finding Friends

Friendship is an invaluable part of life. When you're an adult, making friends can be difficult. So how do you go about forging new relationships as you grow older?

When you’re a kid, making friends seems relatively easy: You start talking to your nextdoor neighbor or someone on the playground at recess or in your class, and bam! Next thing you know, you’re spending time together playing games and sports and sharing life goals and secrets and maybe even a friendship bracelet.

When you’re an adult, it’s not quite so easy. No doubt you have a demanding job and family responsibilities. There’s bills to pay and schedules to manage and navigate.

Where’s the time for fun and finding new cohorts who share your place in life’s journey?
