Last night, about 25 of my beautiful, wonderful girlfriends descended on my house for a festive evening of "sips, bites and jewels." It was such a great gift to me to be surrounded by such amazing friends, some whom I see often and others I don’t get to see much.
We sipped bubbly, chatted about new babies, new homes, new jobs, old jobs, husbands’ jobs, engagement rings, weddings, books, travels, schools for our children, home remodels, flooded basements, cute boots, Christmas plans and more “girl stuff!” It was the best! We also oohed and awed over the stunning and stylish Stella & Dot jewelry collection that one of my dearest friends, Megan, reps. I love supporting her and seeing her second career blossom.
Earlier this week, another friend told me that one of the things she admires most about me is the way in which I make and maintain friendships with so many different people. That was the ultimate compliment to me because I do "invest" a lot of energy in my friendships. And I can truly say they are among the best investments I have ever made.
When I finally fell into bed last night just after midnight, I felt exhausted, exhilarated and so very thankful for my wonderful circle of friends. I love you all so much and thank you for enriching my life and sharing yourselves with me.
