Rainy Day Flavors
Lovely readers,
LA has given me the gift of rain today. I'm loving it. I'm taking the day to continue writing my "Brave Girl's Manifesto", drinking coffee and enjoying the grey.
Escape to paris...
Enjoy,
RR

A love letter...to life.
Dear readers,
This is a passage by a dear friend and RR contributor, Lauren. Take a few minutes to read it. Then bookmark it so you can have it to refer to when you need reminding. She is an extraordinay soul. I hope you find comfort in her words.
xoxo,
RR

“There isnʼt much that I can do, but I can share my thoughts with you and I can share my books with you and sometimes share your burdens too, as on our way we go...”
In just a few days it will be a new year. It will also be the first year in which I honor the anniversary of the passing of someone very very close to my heart. Last year at this time everything was going well, or as well as it does when you are in your early twenties anyway. I was happy living the life that I had created for myself in Los Angeles. Then completely unexpectedly, the rug was ripped out from under me.
It is always hard to lose someone and this was of course a very painful time. It was a tragic start to a new year a year that, really, I didnʼt understand how I was supposed to go on with. I tore myself apart about not making more of the time that had passed, but I got through it day by day. I found ways to cope. I read and I wrote, I surrounded myself with people who I loved and that loved me in return, I drank a lot of wine and managed to laugh some, and sometimes that laughter turned into tears and that was ok too.
It has been hard moving on with day to day life, your friends move on in their lives and become less available. You start to feel even more alone, but you arenʼt. You can talk to your loved one, you can read and write, listen to music and see all kinds of things. You will laugh and sometimes cry.
I have learned so much from this experience, I have learned that our time really is short. Every passing moment is so valuable. Itʼs natural to get caught up on the little things and occasionally have a negative outlook, but we must also be so grateful for the people in our lives, we can learn something from every single one of them. Accept that everything will find itʼs way into place. When we lose someone we also gain all of the lessons they end up teaching us. We will rebuild our lives and take those lessons with us."
