naming the reasons why i love this night..
i have a pretty good idea of the hours of preparation for this event. having worked and chaired committee's, myself, i know how dedicated our friend, Amber has been to this project.
Holiday House being has long been awaited by myself and friends. as we prepare for the evening, i am amazed how memories can flood back to my youth. getting ready together, with Amanda, our make-up scattered on the vanity, my hair up in rollers, the lyrics of Tiny Dancer filling the room. when closing my eyes, the memories so vivid, i could have just as easily been preparing for one of my high school dances. why as women, in our haste to grow up, busyness of our lives don't we allow ourselves this time.
the event, brings so many of us together for a great cause, that many will benefit.
all deck out for the season, vendors set up to succeed, the band rocking it out, food and drink a- plenty, women, all of us coming together for the night.as we shopped, talked, danced and laughed the night away, i felt joyful of my moment with these ladies.
for me, the last year i have had such a strong reconnection to my girlfriends. the images capure just a glimpse of our personalities, our joy and our bond.....
