more girly time

I am officially the queen of the girly getaways! and continue to be blessed with the sweetest invitations. My friend Jonatha flew in from nyc to do some recording and stole me away for a couple of days. It was so much fun to vacation in my own city, go out to a beautiful dinner and stay at a hotel, wake up and have the best cappuccino in town.

Friendship has become a theme for me this year. It is something that is sustaining me at a time when I often feel depleted. I always get new breath and joy from my girlie tribe. Swirly and Denise pretty much sum it up here. Next time we're totally lip-synching.

I really enjoy your site. I don't think I've ever left a comment before though.

I really love Jonatha Brooke's music! I love the "Steady Pull" album, "Red Dress," and "Linger."

Andrea,

It's great that you stay close to your friends. It's hard to find such genuine people. Most of the friends I have I've found are unhealthy, so I'm looking to meet new, better friends. No BS kinda gals. No drama. It's a tall order but when we all come here, I think it's a good open place to meet:)

xoxo

thank you for this post! lately, i have been thinking about how necessary it is to have different types of people in your life - because each type of person tends to fulfill a different role in your life. for example, i can always count on my wonderful husband to be excited FOR me. but i think that it is equally as important to have people in your life who can be excited WITH you. does that make sense?

Andrea, I'm totally feeling your need for friendship. Being about 1 1/2 hours away from NYC where most of friends live, I often feel tortured because I can't easily just leave the kids (2-year-old twins) - or can I?? - and head to the city. Having good friends who don't have children has been both a blessing and a curse. They'll always know me and who I was pre-kids, but they haven't yet fully comprehended my crazy life at this point. I salute your commitment to making this happen for yourself. I will attempt to do so too!

I've been a fan of Jonatha's music since hearing "the story" on WXPN, philadelphia, 14 years ago. Thanks so much for the link so that I can re-aquant myself with her latest.
