I'd like to reply here if I may, because Friend, I totally can see where you are coming from. I can not afford luxuries to go on trips or to events I have to pay for myself. I'm talking we are tighter than paycheck to paycheck. Oh my is this humbling to type out. In the past I have worked hard to be sponsored if I felt it was something I needed to or wanted to attend, but it's not easy and sometimes I too wish I just had all the money to go to all these things on my own. But, even if I did have the money, I have responsibilities here at home. I have a supportive husband but he's also not always available if I did need to leave. So, not being able to go is kind of a blessing because I am needed more at home. I decline brand event trips I'm invited to because as much as I'd like to go, oh is it tempting!- it's not the right time in my life for such things. BUT I need to guard my heart from judging bloggers that do, because it might be the right time for *them*. I need to remind myself of this OFTEN. Sometimes I feel left out from the parties and the fun and the exposure, yeah, but in my heart I know I'm doing the right thing. And I would dare to consider myself closer to a top tier blogger, too, so I think that it is absolutely ok to not go to things yet still be up there. At least I hold my head high and press on doing what I can where I am right now. Much love. Stephanie

I watched it all. You did a great job! I had more to my comment and it disappeared! Anyway, as much as I felt like I should have been there, I think there must have been a reason that I wasn't. It must not have been meant for me, wasn't the right time for my heart. And that's ok because you all were there and can do great things even when others (and I) aren't up for it or can't be two places at once, are needed somewhere else in that moment. We all pick up the slack at the right time. It's a good thing this way. :) Steph

Oh, what could it be? And next time will you put me in your Gussy bag ( I just typed Guzzy bag, maybe the Guzzy bag would be a people-sized version of a Gussy bag to fit me in) so I can go with you next time? Steph

This reminds me so much of bees and pollination. Did you know bees have POCKETS in their LEGS? And when they are sucking up all that good nectar from flower to flower, they pack all the pollen and scents all over their little furry bodies and stuff as much as they can in their pockets so that they can transfer it to the next flower, and then bring some back to their hive- it tells the other bees where they've been, and how to get there, too. Ok, so not as snazzy as glitter, but hello analogies! I wish I could be two places at once- I totally would be down there to listen to you speak today. Much love to you. Steph

Hilarious. This is the first year I'm not going, sadly, but I know of which you speak. It's entirely what you make of it. And it sounds like whoever is hanging with you is going to have a fabulous time! :) Steph

Just as I was reading this Mad World covered by Alex Parks came on (hey! I just registered for Pandora- finally!) and it was just so fitting... I don't know how to explain it. Arianne, this life is so surreal. I hope your day has only gotten better and I know if we all stick together that we all are going to get through whatever it is we're in right now. Never lacking in laughter and inside jokes and meaning... I love you, friend! Happy Birthday! And that rainbow cake is too awesome. Steph
