Happy Birthday to a true original, Lucille Ball. I first fell hard for Lucy when I was 13 and embarked on a journey to learn as much as I could about this remarkable woman. That journey continues but over the years it has brought me laughter, comfort, joy, and friends. Whenever I come home from Jamestown, as I did yesterday, it gives me a renewed prospective on the lady and what she means in my life, so today I reflect on how big an impact she has made on it. Cheers to a woman who was above all brave and fearless in whatever she set out to do and continues to inspire me today.
Coming Soon – My photos from her Birthday Celebration in Jamestown, NY.
