**Because some of you crazy fools believe in me. None so much as my Pirate Bitches. Namely Jen** My phone beeps in my purse, so I dig fruitlessly through the huge tote. Jen was supposed to be here fifteen minutes ago, and it isn’t like her to be late. The waiter finally shows with my whiskey. I order a second and hand him enough money for both with a nice tip before he turns away. The morning has been a whirlwind. Between the molding of my intimates, and the mad dash to get to the Rio for early registration, my head was starting to throb and my stomach was protesting its lack of food. I was happy when Jen suggested showers and naps before we met up for drinks.  The illusive little device finally shows up in a spot that I already looked twice and I cuss at it for being a pain. As I suspected, the texts are from Jen explaining she had a “thing” and had to head back to LA.   Luckily she paid out my hotel suite along with the contents of the mini bar and my dinner tonig...

Well, I guess that weekend post didn't happen. Actually I totally forgot. My bad :(.. I actually got to go out on Friday and had an awesome time meeting new people at a coworkers birthday. This little piece turned into a like three pages after spending half my Friday talking to an interesting human. It is funny how meeting someone you have tons in common with sparks the creative flow.

It leads you on a beautiful journey back to your original self; the perfect, beautiful you .-- Bryant McGill My destination is in the distance. So far away, yet so close I feel as if I could reach out and touch it. Anticipation is palpable as I stand here in the cool shade of a massive pine, looking out over a ravine filled with beautiful cedar and birch. Breathing in the fresh earthy scents I close my eyes and center myself. This journey was one that I needed to fix my soul, the first step in toward healing myself from the inside out. No one ever knows what pushes one person to take such an odyssey. Yet here I stand, alone, amongst the trees, wondering if I will even be fulfilled by reaching my providence. I set off once again, into the cool dank of the forest. My only company is the rustling of leaves and songs of birds high above my head in the canop...
