thoughts & thank yous

late sunday night at about midnight, i found myself sitting at a familiar coffee shop with two new friends. we had spent the day making things happen & discussing the possibilities of the future. we ate and talked and laughed. and then, at the end of the day, when we were all exhausted, we sat on sofa benches at the local coffee shop and continued talking about productivity, music, integrity, "making it", business, creativity, religion, and what it means to be a good person, among many other things.

it was the first time, in a long time, that i could verbalize some of what i had been feeling inside of my core. i realized that for me, being involved in my friend's creative careers (whether is be my musician friends, photographer friends, or other creative-minded friends), makes me feel so happy. i feel privilaged to be able to be part of people's dreams. really, the way i look at it, it's an honor to be able to help someone move forward on the path to accomplishing their dreams. i feel so lucky to get to be part of something so personal and special. it is such a pleasure to be able to be part of the lives of these people that have already given so much to me. why would i not want to be part of helping them make their dreams come true? i can't imagine a better feeling in the whole world than that.

it makes me feel like i get to be a fairy godmother every day of the week. i hope i can continue to help better the lives of the people who have bettered mine just by being who they are and sharing their gifts and talents with the world.

for the first time in ages i feel perfectly at peace with everything in my life, ups, downs & craziness included. i'm right where i'm supposed to be, and i couldn't be more glad about that.

i'll take this opportunity to say thank you to my friends and family for all of the support, laughter, inspiration & motivation. i feel so blessed to be in your lives.

xo,
