No Lipstick in Avalon — Robert Ford

SARA'S LAW #227: If you write the fairy tale in your head, sometimes that's exactly where it will remain.Life sure has its share of shit storms, doesn't it? Believe me, I know. But if you grab a good umbrella and brace yourself, you can weather damn near anything.My umbrella of choice -- after I finally decided to pull up my big girl panties -- was my friends, tequila, and some creative inspiration, though not necessarily in that order. So grab a drink and pull up a barstool. Come closer because there's a lot I want to tell you. Some lessons learned from the school of hard knocks and ways to hang onto hope.Some of it's bad and a lot of it's good. But I promise you this, love... one way or another, it all works out.Somehow... it always works out.
