Sometimes life knocks me between the eyes as it did when I saw this picture online the other day. The man on the right is one of my best friends in the whole wide world, Ted Stafford. I met him 20 years ago -which in and of itself seems crazy to me- we both had summer jobs at a little cafe in the Hamptons. I was 18 and worked at the front counter and he was 15 and was the stock boy. We instantly connected as we both loved fashion and music and Vogue magazine. Yes- he was way way in the closet, but I ALWAYS knew he was gay, and I knew just how fabulous he was. Guess where and who he is in this picture? He is at a party in NYC for GQ and he is ----what? you ask--THE FUCKING EUROPEAN FASHION EDITOR OF GQ MAGAZINE!! And I am proud just like a mommy! Goes to show that you can do ANYTHING you dream of in your mind. There is something great that oneo f my favorite authors, Wayne Dyer, once said and I will leave you with it:
"The world is an ocean of abundance and you can go to this ocean of abundance with a Mac truck and fill it up 15 times a day and still not make a dent. So don't worry about what other people have and what you don't have compared to them---the more you see people succeeding in what they want, financially and in thier wordly pursuits, the more it is just the universe affiming that it is all possible for you too.
