Hey Foxy, LOVE the site! Looks fantastic, IS entertaining and highly educational and brings me back wanting more.
I “arrived here” by accident when I read your beautiful story about Simon. What a great person he was and how lucky for you to have crossed paths, ‘though I’d say that luck had nothing to do with it at all as I firmly believe that “good begets good”.
Love your stories, great perspective and awesome insights, thanks. It sure helps running across your site at a time when I’m trying desperately hard to be frugal yet still live life well. Plus, that red bra is to die for – so sexy!
I am doing my first IM – IMC, as a matter of fact – this year so I am even more drawn to you as a cool woman to “know”.
