Tuesday it snowed almost a foot and the sky was white for two days
I skied and skied until my legs were weak but my spirit was soaring
Wednesday I flew to NYC for a company Christmas party at the Kama Sutra lounge and then ate a plate full of homemade pasta and white truffles – A food that is irresistible and must be devoured with passion and purpose, which it was.
Thursday I arrived on Sir Richard Branson’s private island and swam in the turquoise Caribbean Sea
HAPPYness
Friday I sailed and swam and won the 2009 Necker Island Tennis Tournament with my boyfriend Jerry
Saturday I sailed to breakfast on another island, swam naked and THEN got engaged at the perfect moment on the perfect beach at the perfect time in the most perfect place.
We had quite a party that night
And on my left finger a diamond that shone brighter than the disco ball, and on my face and most every one else, a smile wider than the ire Rasta man playing disco-reggae.
We conga lined straight into the pool (wearing our clothes), backward bended under the limbo pole, saw a one legged pole dancer, there was some heavy petting on all parts of all people, and couch jumping, dog piling, stumbling, dancing and all around LOVE making with 20 of our closest friends.
Sunday I woke up in a bed with my lover feeling like I was floating to infinity on the endless sea anchored only by a few palm trees.
We swam and jumped on a trampoline, played at kite surfing and tennis before a zip line through the moist island air into the shimmering blue sea to a beach side lunch on a brilliantly blinding white sand beach surrounded by hammocks, inviting.
One hour later I am flying
Not like I have been the last week in my sprit-mind and body -
But actually flying, in a helicopter, over Tortola and Virgin Gorda waving goodbye to Planet Necker and all the tiny houses and sailing ships in the sea. We land the helicopter on the runway next to our plane waiting in Saint Thomas to take us
to the town I love to live in
Aspen.
I am home.
It snowed a foot
And today we ski again
What a week.
