and if you threw a party, invited everyone you knew

"...you would see the biggest gift would be for me, and the card attached would say..."

I have been working with a group of wonderful people on V-Day events and they presented an amazing gift to me and my partner in crime, Katie. It was a framed poem about how they are grateful for being a part of our journey, they called us their angels. It was written in beautiful script, and they all signed the back. I am always amazed when people go out of their way to show appreciation, especially in such a thoughtful way. It is relationships that give us life, it is too easy to forget to let people know that they are important to you. These people who thanked us are busy with their own lives, I know how much they are doing and working, so I was just speechless.


P.S. Speaking of the Golden Girls, I read an article about how the girls are the original Sex and the City....Blanche = Samantha, Sophia = Carrie, Rose = Charlotte, Dorothy = Miranda.

Estelle Getty recently passed away at age 84, here is an article about her life. A quote from the article I related to, "The Golden Girls culminated a long struggle for success during which Getty worked low-paying office jobs to help support her family while she tried to make it as a stage actress. 'I knew I could be seduced by success in another field, so I'd say, ''Don't promote me, please,'' she recalled." She worked for 40 years as an actress before she got her break.
