15 Nov Friends Forever

No love, no friendship, can cross the path of our destiny without leaving some mark on it forever.”
~ Francois Mocuriac

My birthday is always an important event in my life and I think that the reason is that it is a fabulous excuse for a party in celebration of friendship.

My birthday this year has been a 4 day weekend in Palm Springs with a phenomenal group of people whom I adore. Let’s face it, what’s better than 4 days of fun, sun, champagne, laughter, love, understanding and friendship? Friends, old and new, flew in to celebrate with me and I am so grateful for their loyalty, commitment and love!

I picked the quote above in celebration of friends and lovers past and present… I figured I must be doing something right because my first email on my birthday was from my ex-spouse, my first text was from my ex-boyfriend and my first phone call was from my ex-lover! Despite broken hearts and adjusted dreams, we are able to put our egos aside and go forward with love and respect – How cool is that?! Yes, they have all crossed the path of my destiny and left a positive mark forever.

To the incredible friends who joined me this weekend, I say thank you and I love and cherish you all. To my readers I say, take matters into your own hands when your birthday approaches and organize a house party with those who’s company you enjoy – at the very least, provide the venue and the inspiration!
