    There are a lot of things I love about him, but I think that most of all, it is that he is so BIG-hearted---such a mentor and supporter and cheerleader, and for so many people. He's just basically...a REALLY GOOD GUY.

    What a touching post. Thanks so much for sharing.

    Mimi, I'm so glad surgery is over. Let the healing begin. I hope they're able to manage his pain. Big hugs to you and your family.

    Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

    SO GLAD the surgery was successful. That's truly great news.
    For now, the only job you and your wonderful guy have is to try to rest and get some sleep. You all must be incredibly exhausted.

    Dear Bank,

    It's time to call it quits. It's not you, it's me. Ok it is you.

    I'm not naming you or anything but you're the bank that has initials W F.

    It used to be real good. You are the bank that took me in when I needed a home and a home loan, a single woman alone but with a good union job.

    But when I tried to get my mortgage to record low rates you advertise to new home owners you've refused. You always had some lame excuse. I know, I know the market's tanked here but I showed you that if I sold my newly remodeled home you'd get back what I owe. You would not budge. "It's not available to condos, it's not available in your county, we can't do this, we can't ...." and so on.

    It's not that November 5th is Bank Transfer Day, it's just that I ♥ my credit union. I've found someone new. In time you will too. Don't be sad. And if I have to go into your office please don't arrest me.

    I'll have to fax tons and tons of stuff. But from the time I called my credit union I'd been approved in less than 12 hours where you would not even return my calls, help me when I came in etc.

    This will save us hundreds each month, puts more money in my local community and mainly more money in our pockets

    Whoo hoo, Mimi, that's awesome!!

    Dear girls-who-are-so-nasty-I-have-no-names-for-you,

    Depression is hard, horrible and its a lot of suffering. Saying publicly that someone with a depressive disorder has an attention seeking disorder because they're depressed is just nasty. I hope that one day, you or someone near to you suffers from really severe depression and you'll finally understand how much suffering it can put you through.
