So this year I decided to celebrate my birthday with a fun and straight forward theme party - PURPLE - purple food, purple songs, purple clothes and of course purple drinks. So with Sangria flowing and music blasting I rang in My new year of 27 with a group of wonderful people.
I had no idea who would actually be able to come to my party b/c there was a huge snow storm in Pittsburgh the day before my party.. 2 solid feet of snow pretty much has shut down the city. No buses, no roads and sidewalks with snow up to your knees. To top it all off all the liquor stores were closed so I couldn't exactly offer my friends the beverages I wanted to.
But I was overwhelmed with warmth from my friends who were not only willing to walk to my house in the snow but they were also willing to bring the bits and pieces of alcohol scraps around their house to make a beverage co-op in my kitchen. My one friend carried two elaborate purple cakes more than a mile without letting one inch of icing be disturbed...People brought sweet little gifts and even a piece of art along with their generous booze donations... There was so much purple - clothes, ties, purple hair and purple eye make-up... it went way beyond any expectations.
A great reminder of how important it is to celebrate the friendships in your life by throwing a party of self-celebration-birthday-love.... Thank you universe for putting so many great people in my life!

The simplicity of a theme like purple is what makes a party like this so spectacular. An unfortunate trap that many of us fall into (including myself) is our lust for the spectacular. We often forget that a spectacular event does not need to be complex and difficult to put together, and many times those complexity lead us toward unavailable expectations. The party was divine and we all appreciated being a part of your first birthday in Pittsburgh.
