Hello Beautiful People!
I just have to say I had a wonderful time last night at the Honor 2003 Awards. It was really, nice to be recognized for doing activist work and to be a bi- and spiritual- voice out there in the mix. I have a nice award from the NJ Lesbian/Gay Coalition-Personal Liberty Fund, and proclamations from U.S. Senator Jon Corzine and the NJ State Assembly. I am truly honored to be in the company of the others who were awarded. What a party! I so rarely go out to anything formal so it was great fun. I loved the dancing.
Thank you so much to all who nominated me and did behind-the-scenes work to make it all come together. Thanks so much to all who came out to the event; it was great to see so many people.
And a little note to my friend James... next time don't let a non-sugar, non-caffeine eatin' person like me have so much chocolate! LOL I was wide awake at, like, 2:30am thinking "Now who can I call in Ireland? They might just be getting up..." LOL!
Blessings,
Robin Renée
