Coast to Coast

F:  This is your birthday week, what are your plans?!

L:  Well, first off, thank you so much for yesterday’s post – and thank you to everyone who wrote such nice things!!  I feel so lucky to have so many wonderful people in my life and I hope that each of you feels as loved as you all made me feel yesterday.  As for plans, Dad was in town over the weekend, I had a wonderful birthday dinner earlier in the week and saw some friends last night.  Mom’s coming into town tonight.  It’s been a pretty fabulous week!

F:  What is your most memorable birthday?

L:  This one, I suppose, because I haven’t yet put it in the past!  Last year’s birthday was pretty cool too.  I woke up in Paris (after having met up with you guys in Turkey!) and flew back to NYC on my birthday.  I didn’t tell anyone I was coming back into town, took the book I was reading at the time (Shantaram) to sit at the bar of one of my favorite restaurants, ate delicious food, drank prosecco and was in bed by about 7 p.m.  It was great!

F:  If you had 3 months off with no housing commitments, etc., where would you go and what would you do?

L:  Three months feels short for the purpose of this question, so I’m going to take a year.  I would spend the first three months in southeast Asia visiting Jo.  Then I would come back and hang out in New York for the next three months (I hope to god these are warm months!).  Then maybe I’d drive cross country and hang out with you guys on the west coast for as long as I wanted before deciding on my next destination.

F:  Do you have any resolutions for your next year?

L:  I want to get more back to yoga & stay focused on prioritizing the things I most value.

F:  Can we see a picture from your birthday?

L:  How about three?
