have you ever wondered what happens
when you bring together
8 soulful, artsy, quirky, fabulous women
to meet up in a cozy cabin
on the northern shores of Lake Superior???
Well, sit back, relax and let me tell you
a little story...
it all begins
(Lovely Liv & Radiant Rachel)
when two GOR-JUSS souls come together
and plan out this adventure
on a restaurant napkin,
send out theeee most yummy invite
that you couldn't possibly
say no to...
flights get booked,
planes land, and you all come
together
to enjoy...
coffee and conversation in the mornings
with THIS view,
(me and Lori)
walks down by the water full of
beautiful conversation and
smiles, smiles, smiles
jars put together by the
to be filled to the brim with Love Notes,
deep, meaningful conversations
taken place in the "link"
a friend finding a treasure,
a stunning full moon dancing across the water
(me and Rachel)
soul laughter
(and LOTS of it!!)
the best stinkin grilled cheese i have ever had
(thank you Lori Portka!!!)
music & dancing
book binding taught by the incredible
(thank you Jen!!)
bonds made
not to be broken...
only to grow stronger
and...
(photo courtesy of Jen Shaffer)
to enjoy new friendships formed
blending together
a soul sister stew like no other
(THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU
and then when all is said and done.......
you clumsily stumble on home
completely and utterly
LOVE DRUNK!!!!!
(there's nothin quite like it!)
thank you for letting me share...
sending my love drunkness
to all of you!
