What does 2009 hold for the Vive Helen broads? Much, indeed. Crystal ball, schmistal ball nothing - the quintessential Vive Helen chick makes her fate, not succumbs to it. Among our immediate group of lovely ladies, there are weddings afoot, seeing kiddos off to school for the first time, grad school dreams - and it couldn't be more exciting or more in line with what and why we're friends: we take charge and we take care of each other's hearts and minds through it all.

As the Times Square ball descended, I was surrounded by my family and handsome fella - but I was also very aware of the thoughts of my girlfriends - that we made it through another year together, with style, with some angst, with a lot of laughter, and above all, with each other.

Over the years, the wheat and chaff have met their respective corners when it comes to friends - and I'm pleased to say, that there's nothing speculative about the future when I've got my 'wheaties' around. Love you ladies, you know who you are, and if there is only one resolution for 2009, it is this: Start writing! This space is crying out to be shared - else I risk a mighty case of self-indulgence. :)
