I'm Going To Be All Right

This weekend, my friends flew me to Tahoe after I bowed out of the trip due to a lack of funds. There is something very humbling about your friends wanting you to be with them so badly that they are willing to do anything to make it happen. While flying into Reno, there was horrible turbulence. In my mind, I began giving myself up to the plane and to fate should anything happen. I was willing to accept that it was meant to be. In that same moment, I also reached for my notebook.

I am happy to say that I landed safely and had a beautiful weekend with my equally beautiful and treasured friends. In my moment of release, this is what landed in my journal...

i see the snow capped mountains
tranquil beneath me.
my heart beats heavily
as it seeps at the seams
overflowing with so much love.
i look out at the expanse of the land.
contemplating my place.
my presence.
my friends wait for me to land.
to arrive.
i'm such a microcosm in the world
until i view it from the window.
suddenly it all seems so small.
perspective.
it reminds me to think.
to question.
to realize.
it's not about my fame.
my popularity.
my riches.
it's not about my struggles.
my bankrupt fortune.
it blooms from my kindness.
my consideration.
my openness.
my willingness.
my yearning for connectedness.
i shine my light.
it warms.
it heals.
it brings comfort.
my friends reciprocate.
they fill me with their light.
it recharges me.
gives me strength
to continue and carry on.
to believe in myself.
to honor myself.
to cherish life's blessings.
i stare out the window.
the beauty of the earth below me.
acknowledging my place.
my legacy.
my hope.
my light glows from within.
i'm going to be all right.

oh Sundance...

Just a few pics that popped up on WireImage this morning that I thought I would share from the weekend... I am too tired to say much more (I haven't slept since yesterday morning at 9:30am)...

Save the date!

Come support my friend's book signing... we need as many people there as possible!

Welcome to the world Bobby Sue

It gives me warm great pleasure to announce that my little Daphne is expecting her first child.

Stephanie (Shaunessy's little sister) and her husband Robb are going to be bringing a baby into the world this Spring!

I couldn't be more excited...

Wishing them much safety and healthiness...

Thanks for reading...

Thanks so much to everyone who has indulged me this last year and read and kept up with my Love Handles journey... the final one is up and ready to read and I have to admit, I am a lot relieved... I had no idea putting myself out there would be as frustrating, cathartic, tantrum inducing and ultimately freeing as it was... I suggest everyone take some time to look inside themselves and figure out the hows and whys they tick and learn to live outside their comfort zones, just not in such a public way!

So here it is...

Thanks again!!! xox bob

do i know how lucky i am?

Dear Bob,
Here is your horoscope
for Wednesday, January 11:

Are you fully aware of how lucky you are? There are some amazing people in your life who have been guiding forces and inspirations on your path. In fact, some of the most difficult ones have taught you the most.

Here's your one chance Fancy!!!

A picture is worth a thousand words! I went to a taping of one of my favorite shows thanks to my friend Joanna (who ironically I did not take a pic with) and got to meet one of my idols... Reba McEntire... Fancy has always been one of my favorite songs to perform at karaoke... and yes, I do mean perform! (just click on them if you want to see them larger)

So Pure...

You from new york,
You are so relevant.
You reduce me to cosmic tears.

Luminous moreso than most anyone.
Unapologetically alive.
Knot in my stomach,
And lump in my throat.

I love you when you dance,
When you freestyle in trance,
So pure, such an expression.

Supposed former infatuation junkie.
I sink three pointers,
And you wax poetically.

I love you when you dance,
When you freestyle in trance,
So pure, such an expression.

Let’s grease the wheel over tea.
Let’s discuss things in confidence.
Let’s be outspoken, let’s be ridiculous,
Let’s solve all the worlds problems.

I love you when you dance,
When you freestyle in trace,
So pure, such an expression.

Happy New Year!

This was easily one of the greatest New Year's celebrations ever... Shannon was asked to host a private party at Tangerine in Las Vegas and she took me as her guest... they flew us out and put us up in a suite and took amazing care of us... Friday night we went to the Black Eyed Peas concert at Mandalay Bay... then we danced the night away at Pure... Saturday she won first place and $54,000 in Caesar's first ever poker tournament... By midnight Saturday, we were all on cloud nine as the clock struck twelve and kisses flew around the room like butterflies... The best part of it all, was being surrounded by some of my favorite friends and my little sister Amy who lit up the room in her sparkly red dress...

I hope your new year's was just as spectacular whether it was a quiet intimate evening with your lover or a party to end all parties... here's to 2006!!! xox
