I don’t understand how a woman can leave the house without fixing herself up a little – if only out of politeness. And then, you never know, maybe that’s the day she has a date with destiny. And it’s best to be as pretty as possible for destiny.— CoCo Chanel

-Albert Einstein
I am a lucky girl. Most people search their whole lives to find just ONE person who understands them. I’ve got a wonderful husband, and a tiny handful of the best friends I could ever ask for.
Together they exude kindness. creativity. ambition. hope. humor. adventure. determination. strength. honesty. absolute brilliance.
Even in the darkest of times, they shine bright like none I have ever seen.
I wouldn’t be who I am today if they hadn’t loved me so very much.
