Party like a rock star but do it with thanks


This is the year I stepped out of my box and took a giant leap. Most people that know me personally, know that though I may seem bubbly and upbeat most of the time, I really masking the fact that I am painfully shy. Yep, that, as some have described me, Ice Queen appearance I present is a facade until you get a glass or two of wine in me. LOL

Well, on February 29, 2008, I had the amazing opportunity to see a wonderful artist, American Idol alumni Bo Bice, perform in a very private setting and I took it. I had shut myself off from the world in a way because of my shyness. But thanks to a fantastic young woman, Lecia and her family. I was blessed with the chance to meet a truly genuine and sweet person and a true success story. He is a man who was given an opportunity and with much added work on his part, he is able to do what he loves, stay a genuine person and make a living at it. I also had the chance to meet some really phenomenal ladies. All of whom, I met through Bo Bice. I am proud to have met them all and now, I can truly call them friends. It is amazing the kind of people you can meet if you just open yourself up to it.

So, in conclusion I guess the motto of this blog is to say thanks for gestures both big and small because what you have been given is a true treasure.
