So, its 2:30 am. I have no idea why I am still awake other than the fact that I had to call on a few friends to help me out with a late night dilemma. Nothing major, no life altering issues, but to be honest I really had a slight fashion emergency. As with beauty, what is considered an emergency is in the eye of the beholder! Without getting too detailed about tonight's problem, my concentration lies in the realization that I had a simple problem and was able to stop what I was doing, scroll through my contacts and "phone a friend."

Since moving to The Hill, my social circle has grown. I am inundated with new people on a daily basis; although this may seem perfectly normal, the NOT so normal part is that I have actually been able to identify a good amount of genuine, back in the day, hold you down/hold you up kind of people. These people have turned into friends. As a woman who moved from a city known for its Capitol Hill far away to a place known for its Sugar Hill, I am thankful for these genuine people. Friendship is simply delicious and unfortunately everyone does not get an opportunity to experience the taste. Sometimes it just takes a tiny fashion emergency to make me realize just how blessed I am!

Tell your friends how much you love and appreciate them today!
