Dear Coleen,
Thank you so much for
taking me to breakfast on Friday morning. Spending time with you is always so
wonderful! You are a truly great friend and I appreciate you in my life.
I have seen you grow so
much these last couple of years. You are such a shining light, a beautiful
example of what sobriety is all about. You work a strong program and it is
evident in all that you do.
You are such a lovely,
intelligent woman, so beautiful, so kind, so graceful, and so fucking HILARIOUS.
I adore you.
You give of yourself
freely, a lesson that I need to learn from you. I see you doing so many
wonderful things for people, wanting nothing in return. You are inspirational
to me.
You look so great these
days, your weigh loss in a HUGE achievement. Please know, that I mean what I
say, you look GREAT! 27 pounds is such a big deal!!! Don’t
discount that. Cherish your sweet self! Please know that it takes time for our
body to adjust to such an accomplishment. I lost 50 pounds ten years ago, and
it took me over a year. It was rough going through the plateau. What I have
learned is that I must LOVE my body, just as it is…cellulite and all. It is
painful to see the imperfections, but my body is my oldest friend, the only one
I can really rely on for the rest of my life. I have to get my head around
that. I think you look fabulous, and that is THAT!!!
You are worthy of
greatness…you are perfect just the way you are Coleen. I LOVE
YOU SO MUCH! No matter what the tapes in your head tell you, just know this:
there are so many people that cherish you and love you so much. I can name a
dozen off the top of my head…. YOU are a precious gift to all of us!
Thanks again for breakfast,
and for sharing your time with me. I appreciate it…
Most of all, thank you for
being my friend!
Love,
Lisa
