If on a Winter's Night a Traveler

“There are days when everything I see seems to me charged with meaning: messages it would be difficult for me to communicate to others, define, translate into words, but which for this very reason appear to me decisive. They are announcements or presages that concern me or the world at once: for my part, not only the external events of my existence but also what happens inside, in the depths of me; and for the world, not some particular event but the general way of being of all things.” 

— Italo Calvino, If on a Winter’s Night a Traveler

Grammy Pep Talk Glory

So here's the thing.

You all know how great my chums are. 

I sort of gush (and gush and gush and gush and gush) about them ad naseum...

Whatever.

I'm very choosy about my pals, ye see.

And why?! 

Because they are real life, in-the-flesh flecks of human awesomeness. 

I have managed to surround myself with treasured BFFs who are 

     smart

     fun

     hard-on-me in the good ways

who are also 

     ambitious about their own lives

     high-vibration-y

     creative

oh, and 

     smartypantses

who, just by being them, and by being in your world,

remind you that YOU ARE A ROCK-STAR-A-SSAURUS.

Basically? 

I have some pretty kickass friends.

Friends that know when to give you a pep talk. 

Friends that know you need that pep talk in a video...

      so you can play it over and over again...

                  ...and potentially turn it into a compilation...

BEHOLD.
