Happy Birthday, YLF!

Fifteen years ago, Angie introduced YLF to the world, saying,

“It is my mission to encourage everyone to look their very best because they can and because they deserve it!”

A decade and a half later, and she’s still helping people look their best, while YLF has become the hub of an international community.

I know a lot of us are wishing we could stage an in-person celebration complete with cake and tea and champagne and balloons and actual HUGS, similar to YLF gatherings in a few other years.

Alas, this birthday celebration, like many of our own, will have to be quieter.

Still, we didn't want to let the day go by without thanking you, Angie, Greg, Sam, and Inge for all you do to make this a welcoming, vibrant, and entertaining place. Here’s hoping you can spare a few minutes to toast your accomplishment today.

And remember: 15 is good. 15 is great. But 15 has nothing on SWEET SIXTEEN!

Also, props to Michelle McQuigge for reminding me that the big day was coming up.
