I could write two separate blogs about these two but I can't write about one without the other. It only makes sense to talk about this power couple as nothing less. I met these two at a Halloween party years ago and have never looked back. Of all the random people I have met at parties, these two have had the greatest impact on my life. Mariella Riat and Daniel Fowler are an irrepressible force. They give 110% to their music and just about every other project they pick up. Furthermore, they love their friends just as hard.
Mariella is always there to remind me to tap into my sexy self by loving and caring for my body. She's got the most random and sometimes weird advice about how to take care of your body. So far it's never let me down. I know that I will always have that one friend who is willing to try pole dancing or burlesque classes or go to ladies nights with. To this day she is the only friend that I have gone out and gotten wild at a nightclub in America with. She makes it acceptable to tap into my wildness at all times without question.
Dan is my British husband who literally keeps my head on. Similar to Mermaid Caitlin, he can logic the hell out of anything (probably because he's British). Most importantly, he's got this chill setting. The kind of chill setting that makes you chill out as well. When I am restless and stressed out, Dan is always around to just chill. His chill is infectious. When I am overwhelmed and struggling to organize my work, Dan is there is work in the same room and just be. It's rare to find a person who can work on separate projects in the same room and not need to talk or interact. There is something about being in the same room as a brain working as hard as his that just soothes me into a productive state.
With them, I can chill in there backyard and sit with the pups and rabbits. I know that I always have a comfortable place to center myself. Here I can be loved just as I am. That is why I keep living. Because I am loved. Because I love them too much to let them live a life without me.
