The cultural experience of being on another continent has really opened my eyes. I have felt a sense of unity from the time we arrived in South Africa. #blessed Every day I have seen people walking together, and felt such a strong connection to this land. We spent time volunteering and meeting new friends in the communities. Locust Ridge, the gifts you gave have made a difference in so many lives. If it is your dream to come to Africa someday, I know you will have an incredible time! And on the safari, I got to see the Big 5!🐆🐘🦁🐃🦏🤯

Quite a few of my friends call me a unicorn.🦄
They buy me unicorn gifts.
They send me unicorn cards.
And, tag me in anything unicorn-related.

If you ask them why - which I have repeatedly, believe me - some say it's because I see life through sparkly, rose-colored glasses.
Some say it's because I connect them to new friends and connections and nurture genuine relationships.
Some say it's simply because they've never met anyone else like me.
And, some say it's because I add magic to the lives of those around me.✨✨
I do believe I like that one best.👌🏼 On my last night in Nashville this past Thursday, after a week filled with travel, the CMAs, the BMI dinner and celebrating the successes of so many friends, a few of my closest Nashville friends - old and new alike - celebrated me and all the magic that is, has been and will be by kicking off my birthday month with a golden, unicorn-themed party a full 21 days before I celebrate my actual birthday here in Beverly Hills on November 30th.

Adorned in my sparkling champagne @CavanaghBaker short little number of a dress, we:
Enjoyed the delicious fare of my favorite Nashville restaurant, @lockelandtable.
Posed with a huge custom unicorn-addressed balloon from @Harlan.Ruby.
Stuffed our faces with the sinful @ThePuffyMuffin strawberry unicorn cake.
Late-nighted to the warmth of fire pits over at @UrbanCowboyBNB while listening to Bryan Adams and Don Henley.
Bonded over 80s one-hit wonders and snuggled together in prematurely frosty weather.
Broke glasses out of sheer jubilation and klutziness.
And, shared stories of all that we've been through together - as is prone to happen on nights of celebration with a "unicorn." To all of my Nashville friends at the party, those I shared time this past week, and those who couldn't make it out:
I love you so. 💗
Truly.
Madly.
Deeply.

Simply put, I wouldn't be who I am today without Nashville in my rearview mirror, and oh, how I love that she keeps coming up in my passenger seat time and time again.
She will always be the music on my radio in any car I drive, and her people who helped raise me will always be welcome passengers.
Thank you for the music & the magic.

Yesterday was a day for the books.
The morning started out as a guest of @BonVivantNash, the Chefs' VIP Lounge sponsor, for a few hours of deliciousness at @MusicCityFW with my dear friend @CraigsTicket followed by a jaunt over to the @OfficialCMHOF for an @AmericanaFest conversation & mini concert with the inimitable @LeeAnnWomack (whom I finally had the pleasure of meeting🙌🏻). Then it was back to @MusicCityFW where we had 20 minutes left of the event to do as much "damage" as possible, which culminated in an epic dance party with our festival hosts, the way-too-fun @kingsofleon. (Scroll through for more of that🙌🏻) As if the day couldn't get better, I then put a golden cap on it by meeting one of my best friends, my college roommate @MBtabor for a delicious dinner and dishing session at @PrimaNashville.

As I said, one for the books!

Can't wait to come back next year for @MusicCityFW and @AmericanaFest!
Thanks for having me, @bonvivantnash @crfromwi and @officialcmhof !

If you follow my instastories (which are pretty hilarious today, if I may say so myself), you've heard who I'm taping with tomorrow for the second season of my podcast, @DineAndDishWithDawn...
JOHN OATES!!🙌🏻🙌🏻🎧🎙 Yes. You read that right.

@JohnOatesofficial - of my favorite, heck, EVERYONE'S favorite, @hallandoatesofficial - will be dining and dishing with me tomorrow.
He's in town promoting his relevatory book, "Change Of Seasons" at @barnesandnoble at @thegrovela at 7 pm tomorrow...which you CAN come to! And, I'll be there, too!

But can't come to my taping of @dineanddishwithdawn -
SO...
I know he has A LOT of fans out there so if you have a question you want me to ask John, comment below, DM me, tweet me, email me, text me or call me because...
I CAN go for that.
(See what I did there?)
I am such a cheeseball. 🧀
Let's just hope he doesn't notice.

Seriously, though.
Questions for John? Send 'em my way.
If I choose yours, I'll give you a shoutout in the podcast AND tag you in my post about the show.
You...and, me...and John Oates...bonded on social media forever.

It's a method of modern love.💕💞
