LF writing....
The amount of hope one person can have is incredible.
It can fill up a room.
Whether it be a small apartment in Manhattan or an entire farmhouse in Iowa.
Hope knows no bounds, stretches father than we think it can, and surprises us in darker moments.
Hope can make or break your day.
It brings you out of the mundane and into the possibility of the future.
Hope is yellow and it cocoons itself around your body.
It acts as a buffer between you and the inevitable.
Hope is patient.
It warms your spirit like a cup of tea.
Hope can be written and spoken and breathed.
And when you write and speak and breathe your hope, guard it for safe keeping.
And one day, when your hope is low,
You will accidentally trip on your bucket of breathing hope
And it will wash over you
And you will remember
And you will welcome it back.

Response Letter to my Meghan in London...
Meghan:
With all do respect fuck you! Lol I read this email the other day with the starting sentence…”I was sailing in Croatia…” CLICK! Lol It was not the day for me to become jealous!! That’s amazing though. What I would give to be in the Mediterranean Seas right now! So So Jealous! I’ve been doing Europe every summer/fall and unfortunately because of my new position and move down here I just shouldn’t do it. Financially I have always managed to get it going. It’s that brat mentality! You know!! I’ve said it before, But I will say it again…you are very lucky to have this time in your life!! That MBA program sounded ideal and unbelievable. I’m sorry you didn’t get it. It was all for a reason. You may have a different better learning experience coming your way very soon!!
Your LOVE – A Flake is always good to have! Keeps you occupied and feeling good at all times. I mean why not!? Even if its via text, etc. It’s a nice feeling to have someone thinking of you through out the day. A Mr. BIG – WE ALL ARE CARRIE BRADCHAW! With out fail! KENNY – my love – have to say we do truly compare the ones that we really want to our Father’s. The fact that you already picked that up is pretty interesting no?
I say do what I’m doing. Take your time and worry about yourself with WHOEVER is making you happy! We shouldn’t over obsess with questioning ourselves with “is he? Or Could he be the one?” More and more do I realize..You will just know! So now in this moment it’s best to just let it all be. And be happy!
Meg – I def missing New York! I’m hearing about the nights all my girls are going out on. All the events I can’t go to. Birthday dinner I cannot attend. Watching even my little sister and brother mature throughout high school. It’s sad that I can’t be a part of visually. I don’t feel like I’m very far at all though. When I speak to everyone via text, email, and phone. I feel like they just minutes away. I do miss everyone a lot! We are def the same way apart from our families and are lucky to have TWO homes now. If not more! I always think back to times where the world seemed so much bigger than it is. I remember us sitting freshman year in college in Bryant Park having lunch looking at the larges screens during Fashion Week. Us confidentially saying…”We’ll be in them soon enough…” See where that confidence got us…Not only have I been to the Fashion Shows in Bryant Park and other cities. I have the pleasure of producing them from start to finish as my job! I have had the chance to work with the people who create the art that is brought to life in them! It’s so nice to feel growth and feel older. Now Can you imagine when we hit 30?!!?
Age Thirty – I see myself above and beyond the point of where I am now. I want to be generous and take care of my friends and family. Like truly take care of everyone and toast to the amazing life that I have lived for the past thirty years. The moments shared with my dearest friends that I know in my heart will continue to stay in my life. I don’t know where I will be or where I will live, but I do know that it only gets better with age! I am blessed in this moment and believe in a happy future.
I miss you to death and can’t wait to see you again. Please let’s coordinate meeting back in NY when you plan on coming back from London. It’s always an experience to see you! You are the best!
LOVE

Ironic thinking about Lebron James
“He’ll never grow if he stays home…”
I said that with ease over mending a friend who was upset about the decision Lebron James has made over leaving Cleveland. He has been the top story since becoming a free agent, and everyone domestically has been anticipating where his move will be.
Mayor Bloomberg rallying New Yorkers in Taxi Cabs; welcoming Lebron into the city that never sleeps with the cheapest commercial whipped up. Come ‘on Bloomberg you could have lashed out a few million for that one! New York Knicks NEED the help 1000%, but it’s monopolized with $$$ for good players. Hence why “We’re” the best (I am still a New Yorker for those shit talkers!)
Then the best silent torture of planting a large scaled photo of Jay-Z and Mikhail Prokhorov over a large building over looking MSG last week. The BEST! Nets couldn’t take it home to their new stadium soon to come in Brooklyn. Any TRUE New Yorker would have been happy with that! 15 minutes to Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn. I would ride the train in a minute back there!
Ironic how he is choosing Miami as his home and work. Just as I made the rash decision to do the same move a month ago. True is it’s a nice change, and a great place to call a home at this age. I’m not trying to compare myself to one of the greatest basketball players alive to date, but everyone is great at what they do. I know I am great at my work and my profession. I have achieved a great deal of experience and am honing those skills in a new environment.
Everyone needs to grow in their own way. Sometimes it is better to grow even more away from everything you have ever known. If you don’t leave the nest you will never experience life. Home sweet home is sweet for a reason, always nice to come back, but not the reality amongst real life.

Advice from a mother….
About your real concern! Truthfully, it is very serious. Because, the decisions you make today will have an effect on you for a life time. ... My Mother always said the man right for you is the one who makes you feel good all the time. He will build you up ( not tear you up)! Yes, it's important to be attracted to him, but not the most important thing. Are your morals and values similar? If not, is he open minded to change? What are you willing to accept? If you find yourself lying all the time to save your relationship, well that's just not a friendship. That's a nightmare and will get worse. Think of your best est friend, ask yourself why is that person your best friend? That's what your looking for. It's that simple. Let go now, so you can be healthy to find your real lifetime partner. Pray, Pray, and Pray.....

Amazing Advice
a TRUE friend's response...
if it is meant to be, it will be. the real saying is 'let go and let God." letting go without God is impossible, you will fail every time. this is exactly what I have been referring to, when I tell you ' you need God' more then ever. also, something that is right or good for you will not be difficult, your hesitant for a reason. anyway let go is the right thing, & let God...he will guide you, his will is stronger than yours will ever be. this is from my heart and this is what i know. i'm walking down this same path, I know i need Him too. -fm
