In continuing birthday festivities, I had dinner with my two BFFs, Patsy and Kelli. We caught up, talked trash, laughed and solved the world’s problems over great Italian food and wine, peach frescos and margaritas.

These two women have known me for years and have loved me through all kinds of self-created hell. They cheer me on and encourage me. They accept me not only for who I am, but who I am becoming, and I love them right back!
