One year ago, I got an email from a girl who had gotten my email address from another girl….saying she wanted to meet and perhaps pick my brain about marketing, fitness, and social media. And since I love all of those things, I said sure, let’s meet up.

I had a 10 week old puppy at home who needed to pee every two hours and didn’t want to stray too, too far away so we agreed to meet a few days later in a coffee shop across the street from my apartment. As soon as I walked in, I saw her sitting at a table with a huge smile on her face and knew it was love at first sight.

Our informal chat about fitness, social media and marketing quickly turned into something of an interview. And quickly following that, it was a job offer.

And only one month later while en route to Denver for a conference – I knew it was even more than that – it was an amazing friendship with an amazing lady.

Today, I want to say HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to LIZ!

You are my favorite:

Social media rockstar. Yoga goddess. Handstand junkie. Badass lady athlete. Yoga and trail running date.

Thank you for being:

The person who always comes up with the best photo ideas (not to mention the person who always rallies everyone to get in the action). The person who always makes me laugh. There when I need you. A good listener. A wonderful story-teller. An amazing friend.

And just…..thanks for being YOU, you sparkly, little unicorn….

And thank you for:

Never being afraid to tell me I’m TOO CLOSE to you in a photo (hahaha). Being an amazing date for coffee, wine, dinner, chocolate, snacks, running, yoga, bootcamp, furniture shopping (haha!!)….and any and all things in between. An inspiration to me (and so many others). And most of all, thank you for being a beautiful person inside and out!

A very happy, happy birthday to YOU!

Thanks for all that you do!

XOXO
