lucky.

There are moments in my life where I feel as though I am outside of my body, floating above myself and soaking in the scene. Today I had a several of those moments. I recently graduated from an accelerated masters program but chose to not celebrate in a big way. My best friends, however, were not satisfied with that decision and threw me a surprise graduation brunch at Sixty Thompson in Soho.


It was so grand to look around the table and see the faces of such successful, beautiful and intelligent woman- all who I met when they were simply girls- dressed to the nines and celebrating (and/or chugging mimosas...) together. I have been extremely lucky in my friendships to have that. I feel as though women can sometimes get a bad "rap" as far as cattiness, competitiveness and backstabbing. I have certainly observed this through peripheral friendships but the women is my life are solid and true and always honest (often brutally.). There is a genuineness to what we have and today I genuinely felt honored, blessed and very, very lucky.


Thank you, ladies. <3


(and yes, I just made a less-than-three heart. deal with it.)
