Happy birthday, my friend. I don't even know where to start – you are such an amazing woman. Smart, kind, funny, tenacious, loyal & beautiful. From the moment we met, you embraced me. You were straightforward, honest, and willing to share. Qualities that many women do not often share with one another. I was able to learn from you and grow with you here at the Q.  Here we are on the set:



 In two of the many cars we traveled to QVC events in: (one with Courtney) {#emotions_dlg.thumbup}




 At those New York fashion events:



 


 And other Q Events:  (one with Rachel and Antonella)




But some of my favorite memories were not captured in photos.  Remember when you and I met Tracy Anderson for the first time?  Nothing like doing a group work out where you think you're about to die and pride alone keeps you going.  {#emotions_dlg.crying}  At the end of the workout Tracy told us she could help us figure out whether we were hip-centric or glute-centric. Of course you volunteered me - at which point Tracy starts feeling my bottom and thighs to determine whether I was hip or glute centric. You could've dropped a pin in that room and we'd all have heard it. You were struck mute and I swear your eyes bugged out of yout head.{#emotions_dlg.lol}  Of course, I'm standing there getting palpitated amongst my friends and completely mortified. Needless to say, NO ONE volunteered to go next.


Another fond memory is when we went to the Anthony Robbins seminar together.  I remember going through the entire weekend with introspection--thinking about who we were as people and where wanted to go in life. And of course, I remember interlacing our fingers so tightly as we were approaching the fire walk that I thought every single digit would fall off. It was so cold and I was so scared that I was shivering. But we made it through! It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience I forever be grateful that I share the experience with you.


I also love that we can go to a sci-fi movie together and order popcorn WITH butter and NO judgement!!!  {#emotions_dlg.thumbup1}


You have been a welcome addition around our table for Thanksgiving, Fourth of July, and special events. Family and friends are so incredibly important; and I am proud to call you a Family friend!



 


Have a day as special as you and I wish for you everything that you wish for yourself!


Love,


Albany
