Last year, I attended the wonderful Lost Weekend in San Diego. Time surely flew by, and before I knew it, it's LOST WEEKEND 2013!!!

It's New Orleans this year! Five of us mentees flew in from different parts of the country, and together with our amazing mentor David Diaz and his awesome daughter Gabrielle, we enjoyed a spectacular weekend of fun, friendship, food, and arts.

Thank you, David, for being such a super mentor and hosting us graciously during our stay in New Orleans. You are amazing! Thank you, dear mentees, for such great friendship! You are all so very incredible and inspiring, and so so very dear to my heart. <3
