12/52

I'm a week behind on the Portrait of Our Life series, but figured this little gem should make up for my lapse.

About once a month (sometimes more, if I'm lucky) I meet up with these ladies for a happy hour or coffee date. It's usually just us 3, though occasionally we are joined by a guest star. The reason why I post this silly picture to represent a week in my 2014 life (I took about 32 shots of them and they still couldn't agree on a TGL worthy version, so I went with the one that makes me giggle the most--sorry, gals!) is because, quite frankly, these monthly dates have become a life line for me. No matter what may be swirling around me, spending a few hours with Sara and Meggie lifts my spirit in ways that I have only really experienced from my most valued long term female relationships. It's so easy to be with them. It's playful and silly, but it's also a completely safe space to connect, hash out, break down, analyze, feel lighter, be free, advise, console, and love. They are east coast souls with west coast vibes, and I adore every moment of our get-togethers. They continuously heal me so much, in fact, that I can physically see the approval on B's face when I mention I have a date with them! My gosh, I am so thankful for these two. I hope everyone has this kind of life line, too.

Gratefully,

Trish
