Genuine Article

Here in LA, it's very hard to find genuine friends. Everyone loves you when you are on the way up, people come out of the woodwork you've never known and EVEN claim to have slept with you! But, when the jobs slow down, you gain weight or get sick...you find out who your friends are. 

Real friends love you for who you are inside and what you contribute to the planet. They love your personality and your love for others. They don't notice how much money you have or what you are driving, just if you are happy.

 I have a few good friends in LA. Very few and getting fewer. But there's nothing like a tragedy to show everyone's true colors. Instead of being angry that people aren't better friends, I am going to practice being a better friend to the real friends I have. to you I say,
Thank you for standing by me all these years. I love you and you are umbrella which I take cover under in the storm of life.
 Love you all, my dear friends Sayde, Gayle, Nora, Laura, Kristina and Kristina V, Teresa, Steve O, Steve K, Steve A, , Kim, Apryl, Ann, Lourdes, Beth, Jacquie, Tamara,  Jacqueline F, Tee, Carol, Gen, Cyan, Debbie, Nathalie, Syl, Mr. Lau, Jason and many other who wish to remain un-named.

Malena.

Sweetie, i am so glad that we met when we did. The distance that separates us makes me sad, but we can get around that most of the time. Hang in there and remember you will always be our GSL!
