Hope you won’t mind me popping in quickly to just say hi.
I’m in New York City with Rob celebrating my birthday and am squeezing out every single second in this fabulous city!
We’ve gone to the theater twice (saw performances of “Motown” and “Book of Mormon”; loved them both and recommend to you); had lunch at my new favorite restaurant Marea (author Toni Morrison sat by us!)
And we’ve walked, walked, walked including past my favorite Big Booty Bakery! Every time I see this sign I crack up, and Rob just happened to be there with his camera – ahem.
Women on Fire personal style consultant Holly Getty is headed over to pick me up in a few minutes — to go buy new bras from her special source. After our Women on Fire “Get Your Summer On” cleanse success, I lost 8 pounds and am now in need of new ones. (Sorry about the TMI!)
(More soon on how our fabulous group of Women on Fire, led by holistic health coach Amy Marzluff,did after our 21-day cleanse. We can’t wait to share with you some of our favorite yummy, luscious, healthy recipes!)
Before I go, thank you to all the wonderful women who attended last Friday’s Women on Fire tea in New York City.
The tea kicked off my birthday weekend. And, just when I think a tea party can’t get any more inspiring, it does. We had soooo much fun! (We celebrated Kelley Black’s birthday, too! And, talented singer-songwriter Jaclyn Reilly gave us a little concert:-))

Happy official summer to each of you! Thank you for reading The Spark! and being a part of this amazing community and for sharing Women on Fire with the fabulous women you love.
See YOU soon at a Women on Fire event! I’ll be back next week … a year older and maybe even a week wiser:-)
