Whew. I'm still in a state of flabbergast. Did you go read the comments in The Smothers Brothers post? Did you see what someone did? Holy friggin moly!!! I just left my thank-you voice mail with who I have taken to calling Mrs. Wonderful. Did you see what she wrote? She wants me to buy myself a pair of shoes because of what I wrote in my about me section. Well if abundance by magic tells me to buy a pair of shoes you bet my fanny will be in front of the computer bombing through the Zappos website. Or maybe I'll shuffle into DSW. And believe me, these babies will be called my magical shoes. That's right.

I love it. I just find her to be amazing. Thinking about the people she is touching with her generosity, I'm sitting here at a loss for words.
Before I had even received a check, I wrote to her to tell her how HONORED I was to be a recipient. With her kind words and all the lovely responses from people, well it's enough to really make a gal think. This acknowledgement and seeing how she lives and gives has made me feel so much more expansive as a person. More easily seeing goodness in others, looking harder for it and finding ways to give myself.
I told her that when I went through the check-out line at work today, the customer behind me asked me if that was a clementine I was buying. I told her it was a satsuma and told her how yummy they were,etc. Then I paid for it and gave it to her. But the thing is, I gave it to her just to be giving. I gave to give. I didn't want a big gushy thank-you or anything of the sort, I just gave it to her because.
And even Mrs. Wonderful says, not everyone will want you to give to them and that is so okay. It's about you putting it out there with your big ole heart.
I don't know Mrs. Wonderful or where she lives, but I love her totally. Not in a weird stalker way, but more of an I'm so glad you are in this Universe and we shared a lovely moment in time way. Do you have anyone like that? I feel the same way about Joan Armatrading. Don't know her, probably never will, but somehow I feel better just knowing she is there.
So Mrs. Wonderful, bless you, thank-you and may all your days be filled with oodles and oodles of magical abundance.

Oh my GOSH, MaryC, what can I say!?! YOU are amazing. Your voice mail... honestly, I just don't even have words. I was tearing up, and then I was laughing, and then tearing up again. And I played it for my husband, and even HE was tearing up and laughing. YOU have a real gift. Or, more accurately, you ARE a real gift.
Thank you SO much, for your voice mail, for your gorgeous written thank you on the site, and for this amazing post! You absolutely made my day.
(And p.s., may I just say that I am SO PSYCHED to hear that you're buying yourself some magical shoes!!! Hooray hooray!!! :D)
