My dearest friend Mimi,

It was so great to spend time with you and your husband last week. It was awesome! Kids loved it, too. We truly thank you for your hospitality and love and caring. …And boy, your abundant energy was incredible! I guess nothing beats good food, great friends and soul searching conversations…loved all the laughs and few tears we shared …and most of all, our never ending desire to look at the life where we are and how we WANT to make it better. It was very empowering to openly share our deepest fears, disappointments and struggles we face at our age. Are we the only one to admit that?

Well, anyway, after visiting few families in California, we, even the kids, agreed that we are so fortunate and lot happier than others and really appreciate what we have and have so much more to offer in life. We thanked God for blessing us so abundantly in our life with families and great friends like you.

Mimi, I just want to let you know that I really admire your courage and passion for trying to help others to live fuller and better life. You’re so awesome!! I’m sure everyone can see that just BEING who you are really shines through others. I’m really happy for you and don’t forget I’m your biggest fan!

Keep in touch. Love always,
Alexis.
