The importance of balance topped off with a Slamming Dinner

Had an awesome dinner last night with my great friend DJ at Cleo Restaurant at the newish Redbury Hotel in Hollywood (slamming- Go Go Go! - make sure to get the octopus and curry cauliflower)  www.cleorestaurant.com  

DJ and I hadn't seen each other in a good minute and had only talked briefly intermittently this past month and a half due to her incredibly busy work schedule, my traveling and perhaps both of our respective new findings (more on that later...maybe). Prior to this month we hung out very often, she actually served as my date on many occasions- needless to say she was my roll dog. We caught up on the going on's in our lives and did our usual kee-keeing.

Girl, What? For Real...Girl.
I realized how much I missed her and how much I appreciate our friendship. I'm happy that she has decided to demand more balance in her life, making more time for her family and friends and though I've been lucky to travel a lot this month, spending time with friends from different circles, I've realized I've actually got to balance out my social obligations/wants and strive to work harder on my career goals. The point here is balance, we all can get lost/lose focus-  I think my friend Yesim said it best, "I've had my head stuck up my ass [for past couple months]" needless to say, she pulled it out and is doing her thing. So whether it's to add the fun back in or add your work ethic back in, best get to it.
