Conner Varin's Photography in Glamour South Africa...

Many of you know Stephanie (Conner Varin) from her previous feature as a Nomad•ness Gal, and/or as one of my closest friends. In the end of October, this woman packed up her life and moved to Jo'Burg, South Africa on some 'I'm just going to make it work' type ish.

And through the ups and downs, that's exactly what she's doing.

Today in the Tribe she posted up a seemingly innocent link...until I clicked it. This woman has worked her magic onto the Glamour Online Magazine of South Africa... pow!

Here's to you love... so proud.

reality check....

Not to turn my blog into a momentary Lifetime Special...but...

I was in Poughkeepsie for Christmas (rare occurrence) and happened to be looking for checks to take back to the Bronx. Going through old packed up boxes and bags, when a blank check from Rudi falls out. When times were extremely rough, he handed me this check, told me to make it out for however much I needed, and to just call him before I cashed it. I never used it.

I have been blessed in the past to have some amazingly supportive men in my life. Rudi, is one of those men that I have to reflect on in my life, and the unique love that we shared as best friends, lovers, and even this existential relationhip we share now.

I pray to him. I ask him to watch over me, my travels, my business. I know my guardian angel is looking down on me for real. He's always on my mind, but I see he had to really make his presence known on Christmas... I got you Rudi. Can't stop. Won't stop.
