22 MONTH SURGIVERSARY w/ a boatload of B/A PICS

You look awesome!  Thanks so much for keeping us all motivated!

Thank you!!!

My sweet friend, you know I absolutely and completely adore you.  You are such an inspiration bc you do get back up and get back up and get back up.  That's not the world's smallest violin playing; THAT is STRENGTH and DETERMINATION and SHEER ******G AWESOMENESS.  You are this amazingly kind, generous, supportive person, and I wish that you were half kind to yourself as you are to everyone else.  I'm glad you're working on it.  I know it's hard.  I'm a perfectionist, and I have a very long pattern of beating myself up for any little deviation from this perceived path of perfection.  It's not healthy, and it is definitely not the example I want to set for my kid.  When I think about how mean I can be to myself, and I think about my little baby girl being that way to herself, it breaks my heart.  NO ONE deserves that kind of emotional abuse.  I know you know what I mean.  Own your beauty and your awesomeness.  Revel in it because it's TRUE and REAL.  Any time you need a reminder of how amazing you are, I'm here.

Deena, what am I gonna do with you??? 

You are just too damn cool ... and beautiful ... and funny ... & pretty darn ******g awesome yourself!!

I just love you to pieces gurl!!!

Yes, we need to set examples for our children.  I tell my kids how awesome they are all the time, I need to learn to treat myself like that once in a while. 

I'm so excited we are gonna meet in a few months!!! 

Thank you my gorgeous friend!
