Serendipity, happenstance, fortuitous-ness, stars aligning – all of these were in abundance when we began gathering that first afternoon for Christine's book release. We (read we to mean a pack of girls) walked past these letters on the sidewalk, left no doubt by someone who was changing the marquee at the movie theatre, but letters left without a sitter, are letters that WILL be rearranged. And so the week of the book release begins.
A few highlights for me:
- gathering with old and new friends to celebrate what Christine has created
- a spontaneous hair cut on Venice Beach
- travelling with a pack of girls at all times for 4 days
- feeling perfectly and beautifully imperfect within a circle of friends
- getting dressed for the Event {with a pack of girls}
- standing at the Event, and feeling really and truly honoured to have contributed to this amazing book, with an amazingly gifted group of women
- a spontaneous and exuberantly prepared late dinner after the Event
- the after party gathering that turns into girls night, with one, very well-adjusted man with a really really good sense of humour in attendance
- going to West Hollywood to a friend's Open Studio and buying The perfect painting for my guy for Christmas (oh and one for me too!)
- coffee every morning at the kitchen table, reviewing the day before and planning the day ahead {with a pack of girls}
- planning the next visits and the next times we'll see each other, and being grateful I'm a girl with friends that fill my life with as much joy and honesty and vision as I can hold.
Yes and Yes and Yes and Yes!
