Its the Little Things...

Yesterday, on my way to an audition, I made a friend! A older woman named Gwynn needed a hand with her bag and she looked at me as I walked past at a NY pace and asked me if I'd help her! If you turn down a sweet old woman, you're just asking to get hit by a taxi! It'll come back around to ya! So she and I had a lovely stroll around the corner to the Baptist Church, where senior citizens get lunch for $1.50! Now I don't know what they serve in there, but Gwynn and I both agreed that I was too young, but I told her that the price was right so maybe next time she could sneak me in!

Also, on this freezing NY winter night, I've just returned from a wonderful salon next to my restaurant of employment down in TriBeCa. The owner is a regular and she was in need of a hair model! Luckily I have hair and lots of it and a willingness to let her play with it, so I got a free haircut at a salon well out of my price range! We're going to spend the next few weeks playing around with different looks for the spring! Who doesn't like having their hair played with? Maybe one of my favorite things ever!

All that to say, I love this City I live in, but opportunities like this can appear anywhere. I think the key is to stay present and open to wherever you are and whoever you're in contact with at the moment! So many gifts can be found in each other, we're just self-centered people! That's my two-cents on the matter! Stay warm wherever you are and send warm cozy thoughts to us here! Its painfully cold!

I wanna be a hair model!!! One of the best things ever is having your hair played with. Guess I'll settle for 6 tiny hands making a mess in mine for now :)
