People who are "Keeping it Real" not "Keeping it Weird"
People who judge people not based on Tattoos, or HairCuts, or their Ride, rather they judge them for their Heart, Integrity, and Intention. People who live their lives with a sense of urgency that propels them to be the best they were born to be through helping others become their best. DayMakers!
Hello, Roy! Wow, I just came across Svetlana's website, completely by chance (was looking for Victorian vintage wear and somehow...)-you know how that goes! Anyway, WOW, WOAH, she's big time! I read the stuff on her India trip and what she is doing with the book and all that stuff. IMPRESSIVE! This does not surprise me in the slightest because I know you and you fuel great things. Anyway, I just wanted to drop a line and compliment her on her very apparent gift and calling. Powerful stuff! XOX!!! Love you. Connie, too!
shoot I was gonna add a nice photo too . the line was,"I'm flying to Austin for my next haircut". the the pic would have been me as "Joker" with green hair ( in my mine mime album )

You're a trip, Roy! My man and I were on I-35 today on our way to the Harley shop down south when I saw a new Avant Salon/Spa. I said, "Wow, cool, another Avant Salon!

I would love to see you soon. Maybe you and that crazy Wolfson man can meet me for lunch sometime ;)
