:: 13 going on 30 ::

Well hello, my dear blog family. I have been CRAZY busy lately between the wedding, my son's high school graduation, company, company again, a military homecoming (don't worry…that blog will be very soon!) and this past weekend, a bat mitzvah. I'm sure I sound like a broken always professing my love for my clients. I can't help myself…and I'm going to do it again. 

So this lovely young woman is the cousin of 2 of my former mitzvah kids (not really kids anymore!!). She is extraordinary. This girl has the biggest, kindest heart and is so incredibly sensitive and insightful. She carries an old soul inside of her. Even the rabbi remarked about the fact that he's tutored over 5,000 boys and girls over the years and she was the first to actually ask for more to do. She wanted to learn more, give more, and just BE more. 13 years old. Amazing. Her project benefitted The Wounded Warrior Project and she has vowed to continue to support them - knowing her, she absolutely will. She's intuitive and loving in a way that you wish would rub off on everyone else…the world would be such a better place with more of her. Obviously, I'm a huge fan! As I always say, I am SO lucky to meet the people I do. My life is better because of them…all of them. 

So here are some pictures of the bat mitzvah girl, her wonderful family and friends, and the celebration.
