The Sisters have arrived!

Chanin, me, Cathy at Hal’s on Abbot Kinney in Venice CA The three of us were all artists at the same gallery in Venice. That’s how we met and adopted each other as sisters. Chanin has real sisters too, but Cathy and I are only children, so that’s what we do, we adopt our friends :) I had the BEST fun Wednesday with Chanin this week. We hadn’t seen each other in a long time and spent hours catching up in our old stomping grounds, Venice. It was a nostalgic day because as Chanin and I sat in the same restaurant where this photo was taken 3 years ago, I realized just how much has changed since that time. As Chanin approaches a move in with her fiance and an exciting new job, as Cathy returns for a visit home with her baby, as I am now making a living with my art... our dreams for this time in our lives are coming true. We spent hours, in Venice, dreaming these dreams. Do you know how great it is to realize they’ve happened? I am choosing to share this story as a reminder to notice where you are - because as we continually expand in our lives, always heading to that "new" destination - it is so easy to forget where we’ve been and what we’ve accomplished. And another reminder, dreams do come true!
