Kindred Spirits!

I Love reconnecting with the amazing people in my life!  I am so blessed and lucky as hell to have met and worked with and befriended so many amazing individuals.

This evening I had a phone date with the Incomparable Ms. Julia Snider, of Julia Snider Photography, and Julia Snider is Amazing Inc.  Ok, I made the last one up, but perhaps she should look into that.

She never fails to make me smile, provoke me to new ways of thinking, reveal previously unesplored options, and demand that I recognize some positive thing about myself.  We haven't known eachother terribly long, having met mid-way through our all-too-short Grad School experience, but I have always felt a strong and somehow timeless connection to the woman.  It seems, sometimes, as if our souls have been pals for generations.  Our conversation is always stimulating (for me, anyway, lol.  Was it good for you?  hahahah.), our dreams big, and our imaginations limitless.

I wish to heaven that I had a career that afforded me more time to have coffee with friends, or drinks, or even have an outing or two with them!  How great would it be to go on a picnic or see a show once in a while?

I reconnected with a great friend of mine Stephen from my AMDA days via facebook chat the other day too, and that felt wonderful!  He was always like a little brother to me at school-- I loved and still love him to pieces, have only the fondest of feelings for him, and it turns out he misses me terribly and feels the same!  It was great to reminisce and to make grand plans for reconnecting, maybe in NYC sometime near summertime.    Hey, check his adorable self out in this JG Wentworth commercial!  He's the young (such a baby face) father in the newborn ward!  This is not his voice, but I assure you he has a crooner voice that would melt your panties off, ladies!!

Oh, how amazing it would be to get my sorry ass to NY to reconnect with all the dear ones I had to leave behind!  Kim!  Oh, my sister, my love, my lady of inspiration and empowerment~ What I wouldn't give to be able to meet up with her for coffee one morning a week!!  She's off being amazing and my heart glows with pride and joy thinking of her happiness and her many well-deserved successes.

Not to mention re-connecting with the old PM Productions group for an amazing artistic & educational endeavor this summer!  YAY!

I'm madly trying to reconnect with my bestie from Jr. High and High School too!  We still love eachother to pieces in theory, but how will it go when we finally see eachother again??? 

And through it all I need to give a shout out to my dear ones who never waver, who always remain true and wonderful and constant whether a week passes or a year.  Danielle, who has been a friend to me through years of schooling, long-distance, hardly communicating, and all the hectioc demands of busy lives unfolding.  You are so very dear to me, always!  I love you and am so very glad to call you sister!

To Emmy, who is going through that insanely busy-bee period of life right now too!  We are rooting for you and always waiting with open arms for when you need us and have time to rest, let your hair down, have a cup and have a laugh!

To Jeff!  Another soul who I surely have befriended in many lives long past!  A forever friend, a soul who makes me dream, who encourages my flights of fancy, who is offensive and outrageous and unique and incomparable in every sense of the word!

And to those fabulous folks I haven't seen in so long, and to the newer additions to my life-- I love you, I admire you, I enjoy you, and I am grateful to have met you!  I hope the future finds us spending more time in eachother's company!!

*Mwah*

And special thanks to my very dearest friend- my husband and my partner.  I love you, even though you never read my blog! Lol.
