A group of local women I know, many for some time now, get together on a regular basis. I like to think of us as a unique and beautiful collection of the female persuasion. Intelligent and passionate; our backgrounds are as varied as our number which over the years has hovered close to 30. Yes, that's right - 30.
That's a lot of beauty, intelligence and passion.
If there is a poster child of groups of women who gather together - it is this collection of personalities who call themselves CLUB MEETING.
Eleven letters, which when appear in the subject line of our unread email lists, thankfully, continues to bring this eclectic assembly together.
I do not profess to be any sort of queen, a leader or spokeswomen for these women. But my life would be totally different, perhaps non-existent, if not for this group of friends. That's a pretty powerful statement to make; even more so to commit to the written word. But I mean that from the bottom of the beehive that I am planning to have atop my head on the evening of my 60th birthday which is rapidly approaching. Consider yourself warned. I am going to finally have the hairdo to go along with the frosted lipstick I have never seemed to stray from. Talk about stuck in the 60's....
Those who know me have tolerated my affection and amusement for hair as well as a scary willingness to change it by way of curling, dyeing, bleaching, frosting, cutting off and growing out what God has blessed me with.
Having said all this, I attribute this particular call to the keyboard to the lovely person who came up to me today and asked if I was blogging; well you did get me to thinking....you know who you are and I am dedicating this blog to you!
Another blog, another window into my personality(ies!) disorder. Some fodder to help take your minds off of your tanking 401k's if you are fortunate to have one left.
I like to tell stories; but not really. It's another excuse to write. Occasionally, one of the many folks I know around this tiny but buzzing town by the sea, may see something of themselves in what I choose to write. I stand behind every buzz I write about, just so you know.
Here's to my friends, old and new, welcome to the hive...
So long till next time - peace and love.
