Angela- thanks for opportunity to share the spotlight with you. This was so much fun to sit and just chat with my Sister from another Mister. Production - excellent editing skills👏🏾👏🏾💕

[@beatricehall276]

Work it, Benjamin!

[@hollid175]

Ronnie, you were a joy to watch. I love the sisterhood the two of you share. We love you too. Blessings👌😊

[@LianeSpicer]

It was a pleasure "meeting" you. You are lovely and charming and the friendship between you and Angela is truly heartwarming.

[@debraedwards1649]

Hi Angela and Ronnie too! As a grandmother of 3, with a few good friends, I agree with all 10. Happiness is growing old gracefully with peace of mind, a strong body, and the finances to do what I feel is best for me. Thank you for sharing!❤

[@emiliaescobar7652]

What an INSPIRING video, from 2 Fabulous/Interesting Women!!!! Glad I watched this!!!!

[@zeritacopeland9402]

These are the conversations, I would love bringing my girlfriends together for at times;however, they are too different. So different until I have a at least 2 or 3 that they are friends but friends with almost no conversation. I know they don't get me and Lord knows I don't get them but they are still my friends.

[@tyhumes6634]

This was beautiful, nothing like great/ good girlfriends and life lessons :-)

[@AngelaMashelle]

So true!

[@bionickingsandqueens6754]

Sis I was talking to the TV. You guys are not leaving me out this conversation. Soo much fun

[@mtngrl5859]

You two have such a great connection... enjoyed the video. Really relate since I'm north of 60 and I have simplified my life so much, don't worry about unnecessary things, don't extend myself to people who don't value true friendship, just more selective about life in general.

[@jbar234]

Thank you ladies I especially appreciated the part about following your intuition about someone or a circle of people that you need to separate from. I love your warmth and humor and how authentic you are with each other and all of us 😊❤️

[@bionickingsandqueens6754]

Yess. You said it so perfectly...

Thank you Angela & Veronica!!!🌹🌹❤️❤️ This is special, Those 10 commandments are perfect and I concur 100%. When I was in my 30s I had a 50yr old friend, she died about 4 years ago, I learned a lot from her. I became friends with her sister as well, She passed away about 2 years ago. I miss them. After living overseas I lost friends, that’s just the way it is. Good friends are hard to find, as you get older friends are few. I enjoyed this video, as usual. That one on one was fun to watch.

Such valuable friendships💕

Thx you Angela for sharing this beautiful timeless video❤

[@RonnieNCSU21]

Thanks so much💕

[@roxannaedwards9917]

I have never enjoyed watching any video as much as I enjoyed watching this one! There was so much truth spoken here. I am going to be 68 years old on Aug. 8th and being able to hear perspectives from you and your friend Ronnie, who is also in her 60s, was very rewarding. Between the two of you there are many years of wisdom that only come from lives well lived. I came away realizing that I need to work on myself and on being a better friend so that I can make more friends. I also look forward to being a grandmother one day. Thank you, Angela, for sharing a part of your life with us. I look forward to watching more videos like this in addition to your usual fashion videos. Thank you for being you!

Hello Angela my beautiful "Leo Sistah!" I truly enjoy your content! I am a woman of a mature age (58 on August 15th) and can relate to this topic and smiled the whole time while watching! You and Ronnie are absolutely beautiful and the "Sisterhood" is inspiring! The footage of the basketball game showcasing that Ronnie "Still Got Game"🏀 was very entertaining! I look forward to the next episode of "VOICING WITH THE VILLAGE!"

Hi Angela & Ronnie, this is a wonderful blessing, I've truly enjoyed, and concur with each item on your list. My thoughts regarding a good name for this type of vlogs would be "Timely Insightful Blessings" #TIBs. As a GrandDiva of 6 amazing grandchildren ages from 15 years through 2Mths, i must agree being a grandparents is the ultimate blessing! Good friends are the siblings God allowed you to choose. Watching you and Ronnie, I see and hear so much gratitude, love, grace, guidance, hope, and Faith in this! Thank you both for sharing what you KNOW for SURE...🌹💕😍

Angela I have to agree with you..There is nothing better in life than grand babies. I have 4. I was there when they were born. My 2 oldest grew up without their mother. She was my oldest child and she passed in 07. My 2 youngest, one 15 and the other is 11. They have grew up around me all their lives. I'm their Boo Boo..The 2 oldest grew up around their dad's people. One is a nurse and the other is going to Auburn University to be a vet.

Thank you for sharing your inner circle friend Ronnie! Looking forward to seeing more. Maybe since the focus is on wisdom and second phase of life’s journey maybe the name of your segment could be “Golden Talk”, “Mature Matters”, ”Divine Discussions” “Diva Dialogues” or “AM Conversations”.

For me, the best is knowing who I am and being okay with it and appreciating who GOD made me to be and loving it. Also, not trying to impress others. I used to always want other to like me and change to make people happy. No more. Seriously. We need to tell young women to be kind and respectful but be who GOD made you to be.

[@kevingrid5579]

Wonderful video as usual....I cannot begin to explain all the positives and gems in this one lest my comment grow way too long. But, definitely more like this, from time to time. Since your platform is geared toward the mature woman (or those seeking to grow toward a more mature mindset), please stay away from anything with "tea" or "tea time" in the title as its current usage in pop culture seems to have moved away from classy and more toward what I would call "MESSY." You, my dear sister, are definitely not messy based on what you have presented us via your channel thus far. And, neither is Ronni. I love that you refer to her as a Village Sister so definitely incorporate the "Village" aspect in some way....how about "The Village Vine." (John 15:1-17 AMP) Keep sharing, teaching, nurturing, building up, blessing and bearing good fruit for those in your circle of influence which includes all of us across the world whom you reach via your platform. Your joyful spirit and genuine heart for others are so evident. May God continue to bless you and your husband, your family and your village! Much love and Aggie Pride from Ohio! 🤗🙏🏽💞💙💛
