the extraordinary league of fabulous nyc girlfriends

“This life is what you make it. Not matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you're going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends - they'll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, some go. The ones that stay with you through everything - they're your true best friends. Don't let go of them. Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well, they'll come and go too. And babe, I hate to say it, most of them - actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can't give up because if you give up, you'll never find your soul mate. You'll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once, doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don't, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about.” 
― Marilyn Monroe

i have the worlds greatest girlfriends (and sisters, but this is just about my nyc girls).

i couldn't have been luckier than to share hot coco, diet coke, meals, cupcakes, and lots of tears and laughter with such wonderfully exemplary women. 

i know i say this every time i return from my extraordinary league of women, but i've just never met a finer group of silly birds. 

we're all so very different. 

some are show people or mothers. 

some are lawyers or copywriters. 

some are good christian women and some are good jewish women, and some just believe in being good. 

so yes, i guess the binding trait of my maudlin group of broads is goodness. 

so much goodness and hilarity in each one. 

to get to see 2-5 of my nearest and dearest EVERY DAY in nyc is such an extravagant and soul-filling treat. 

thank you, lovies. for picking me up and sharing your spirit. 

can't wait to get back to seeing you all daily. 

my soul needs it. 

this is la-la.
she's a big huge bway star and she pays for her latte in quarters....
which is why i love her so.
