I have a great partnership with my husband. We don't have family to help with the kids, so we "tag team" alot. When school or social events come up with the kids, we find out which one of us(if not both),can make ourselves available. It is very important to us that our kids have parental support, no matter how "minor" the occasion. Most recently there was "donuts with dad" at our younger kids school. Needless to say, there was no discussion needed…that one was ALL his.

My partner (of sorts) is my best friend Michelle. We've been tight for almost a decade now. Not only is she a solid-rock, cool friend, she has also been a great mentor and sounding board for me as I launch my freelance writing business. She's been doing it for years and happily encourages and helps me whenever I need it.

I have to tell you that I cringed when I saw this post today. I came home after my long and exhausting Business Organizations law school exam trying to unwind and read some of my favorite blogs... until I saw "PARTNERSHIPS"! AHHHH!

After initially and instinctively thinking co-ownership, capital contribution and sharing in profits and losses, I read the post and as usual, enjoyed it.

My most successful partnership is with my husband. He is my most loyal supporter and best friend. We definitely share in our profits, as well as our losses -- and I wouldn't have it any other way!

I saw these featured in O magazine. I love the story behind them. Makes the jewelry more meaningful.

I am inspired by your partnership too. I love seeing you all together, both in real life and online.

My husband is my greatest supporter. We've been together for almost as long as I've known him. It'll be 13 years we've been together this January.

I saw this braclet in O and love love love.

I had a teacher in elementary school that was my greatest supporter. My parents died when I was little and this teacher followed me through college.

My husband was my greatest influence. Unwavering support and love always. He's gone now too but I remember something he taught me every single day.

I have a great partner in my life, my mom. She has been my biggest supporter, my best friend, my worst enemy, my doctor, lawyer, police office and most of THE best mother!!

She was a single mother that raised me through government support until I went to grade school then she fought a long fight to raise me just like all the other children in my upper class schools that I was enrolled in. Through credit card debt and hardship she taught me how to be a strong woman and ultimately a great wife and mother. She struggled and went without to teach me sacrifice and how to make the best out of any situation. She helped me understand how to pick myself up from heartbreak, death and destruction and walk away with grace and a smile on my face. She prepared me for life as an adult and what that would mean to my husband and my children. She taught me how to deal with step-son’s mother (without killing her) by showing me how she dealt with my father’s other women, she showed me how to deal with my mother-in-law (which hates me) by showing me how she dealt with my grandmother that was not sure about the light-skinned woman my dad was having a baby by and she taught me how to recognize that my husband loves me more than anything in this world. She taught me how to be a friend because she was/is my best friend but never letting me forget that she is my mother FIRST!!

That is my partner, my mother. She deserves this bracelet.
