Woke up on my own to the sweet sound of Imogen Heap playing and the last bits of twilight in the early, early morning seeping through my window. I’ve missed this so.

How I did it
It made me
exhausted! 
How I did it: I moved to Boston where you really don't even need a car. A big change from Southern California. My body aches from so much walking, but it feels good too. Read how I did it…
It made me 
How I did it: Don't have to think about it, so it isn't really missed. Then, when I remember the little chunk of money that I put away, it makes me smile. Right on track. Read how I did it…

Looking over my list again, this one hit me. Today after work my best friend asked me to sing with her at her wedding. SO excited. We haven’t sung together in….years. I am so excited to be her Maid of Honor. It really, truly is an honor. And to sing, these two girls, best friends for years…it’s just rad. I love my bestie. I love her voice, and I love that I get to share in such a beautiful moment in her life with mine.
