"What are you doing tomorrow?" she asked. "Well..." I stuttered with hesitation. Before I could say another word she said, "I have tickets to the wine and food festival and I was hoping that you would be my date." Knowing that I had things I needed to accomplish I was still a little unsure, however I committed. Today we arrive to pick up our tickets and to our suprise we are handed two VIP bracelets and are instantly treated like two very special people. As the rest of the patrons make their way to the overcrowded tents, we are directed to the tents on the other side of the path.
Suddenly I hear a small voice whisper, "Who do you think you're fooling; you're not VIP!" I am instantly struck with the pang of guilt but just as I'm about to voice the words inside my head I am handed a wine glass nice enough to serve the pope and just as quick as the pang struck it went. I found myself swallowing those words and accepting this moment as a gift.
This was a great reminder to me that there are times in life when you're given such gifts that are meant to make you feel like the very special person that you are; so untie the bow, rip through the wrapping and indulge in those moments. For gifts such as these only happen ORO (on rare occasions)

You DESERVE these special moments and are a VIP! If you don't believe this in yourself, why would anyone else? Someone very smart has made sure to get that in my head.....cough cough! What a wonderful day with the best of company :)
You are right, if you don't believe in yourself first who will!
