Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.”
― Anais Nin

After an exceptionally busy Fall season (thank you, my amazing clients!), I find that it is necessary to scale back & carve out time for myself. Alone time is crucial & needed, but time with close friends is equally important. These things act as a sort of reset button on my life & I am always grateful that I am able to make myself a priority, even if only for a moment.

Are you making yourself a priority? What are some ways that you do this?

Last night, I was able to share an amazing meal with some friends, made possible by the amazing Melissa Elsmo. My only regret is that there wasn’t room at the table for more friends…

Not only was I able to spend time catching up with some of my favorite people, but I got to do so while eating and drinking a fantastic meal.

As has been stated before, I’m not a food photographer, but I absolutely had to document the meal so I could share with everyone.

So…enjoy these images…and block some time on your calendar to do the things that make you happy. You’ll never regret doing it.
