la

after a nite in hollywood to see bassnectar with lisamarie (um. definitely no pics ;) bijou and i were off to la to see our good friends carole, wil, nicholas and anu. nic is AMAZING - such a beautiful boy with TONS of energy. wil and carole have their hands full for SURE - and # 2 on the way!
i adore this father-son shot, especially
nic with his t-shirt thats GREEEEEEEEN.
(sorry for the nudie shot nic, you'll get over it)


we went out for dinner that nite and
met up with nick and rebecca:


i spent a good part of that meal thinking to myself how very thankful i am for all of these beautiful people in my life, and how i love each and every one of them so dearly.

it has been just over a week since i began this journey, but i can tell you that i have learned more in this time than i have in ages. each and every friend that i have reconnected with has taught me something more about life - in their respective worlds AND mine. i have always been
listening to what they had to say...
but, only NOW, am i actually ready to HEAR it.
there is something to learn from everyone - i thank all of my friends now for teaching me... while just being themselves. LOVE YOU.
