Come On Get Higher

Yesterday, my friend Janis colored my hair for me. She is following her dream, to be a hairdresser, many years after she first longed to do so. So, my color is fresh, I got low lights for the first time in nine year AND, I had a great day visiting with her while at the beauty school.

Janis is definitely one of the women in my life who always lifts me higher.

Here's the most amazing part of yesterday. I was parked in a two-hour spot. I was at the location for almost 7 hours. (They're learning; it takes a long time!) I only put in enough quarters for two hours. I knew I would have a ticket. KNEW IT. We SAW the cops making their rounds. I got to my RAV4 - NO TICKET! Plus, there was 1:29 left on the meter. A gigantic THANK YOU to whomever my Random Act of Kindness angel was.

Be with those who help your being.
~ Rumi

In addition, I am surrounded by amazing women on the committee I co-chair for our district-wide fundraiser tomorrow. Feel free to click on the link and take a gander. I know you'll be impressed.

It is nearly "Go Time" and as a result, we are all a little crazy. I gave up a ton of responsibility this year. The women who are running with it are doing an outstanding job; are we all a little unnerved? Yup. (That's our word of the day. And motherfucker... I'm just sharing...) But, in a strange way, we ARE all remarkably calm.

We have a ton of awesome prizes. We have a ton of amazing sponsors. We have a ton of people coming - over 330! 

It's all good. It's all for a great cause. And by working well together, we are helping each others beings.

Just so you know...

Oprah's words totally put this song in my head. My daughter introduced me to it. It remains a true favorite of mine.

I love "feel good" stories, and this made me feel good! I hope people continue to be kindness angels. We need them! Now, a request... Can you post the name and artist of the songs you share so when we like them we can seek them out for our own collections? You may be already doing this and I have just missed where to find that info ( after the week I had it wouldn't surprise me if it is right in front of my face!) Thanks for all you do Maggie!!

Hey Kel ~

Look up. Now, look at the YouTube Screen. Look at the top of the video screen. Matt Nathanson - "Come On Get Higher" is the artist and the name of the song. So, whenever you click on the YouTube video you will go directly to the artist and song.

Feel good stories are THE best, right?!

You need to call me...we need to talk. xo

Hmmmm... Maybe it's because I'm on the iPad, but it doesn't show the name or artist. Weird. I will give you a call. You around this weekend?
