a Friday night tradition….

So, I have a new little tradition on Fridays: I leave the office and take myself out for dinner. A few hours of letting go.  Last night, Susan (my very best friend) accompanied me. We went to one of our favorite spots in our hood: Luxe Kitchen and Lounge. It was so nice to sit and chat with her. We both have our hands full during the week so by the time Friday rolls around, we’re both ready for some serious conversatin’. I may have lost a few cherished friendships over the past few years, but when you have a friend that you connect with on a deep level, with whom you share your deepest thoughts, you better do your best to keep them in your life. There are relationships you should fight for.

I am so very proud of Susan, she’s standing on the front line of  life fighting her way to make her mark. Working two jobs to survive. She’s determined, which is often the only thing you can hold onto when you’re searching for your place: determination. That’s one of the most beautiful things about friendships: they are inspiration. A support system. I think we need a little more support in the world, the real kind. The listening ear. The shoulder to cry on. So, if you have a very best friend that you love with all of your heart, send them a quick message and remind them. Enjoy your Saturday, little monsters! XOs….
