Showing Up Invited but not TECHNICALLY

There are times in life to be bold. There are times to be brave. And when you think you know something or think you should DO something, well then by all means DO IT!

This is the situation I was in just two days ago. There was a very important event that I knew was being held in my honor but I hadn't actually been invited. And you know how LA is. You have to be on the list. Especially if there is free booze and food and world-prominent leaders in attendance. How in the world would I get in?

I didn't know. I stood outside my house, dressed for the ball and no carriage was there to pick me up. I mean I had called for one but not in physical terms. Do your part.

I consulted Fashion...who told me to Uber. And I did. My driver was in a Lexus, of course. He had the phone charger I need, of course. And he was excited to be actually heading to where I was heading. He thanked me upon arrival for the chance to see it. Very cool.

So then you are walking up and you're all like, "What do I say?" So I just asked if I needed to check-in. And yes, I did. Was I invited? Yeah, I was. I mean yes. How can you say you're not invited? We are all invited. It is on us if we want to show up or not. I asked to speak to the owner and dropped my man's name. Lots of secret conversations and people checking with other people and then BAM! They want my ID. Well, I Ubered! I don't have an ID. Fotunately, they took me at my word and my man's name and there I was.

Thankfully, it was a great night. I feel loved. I feel celebrated and the hangover was worth it.

Back to normal today.

Just Be.
