Jodi, you are truly a blessing. You inspire others without even knowing it. Today, I was feeling so SORRY for ME and now I see I have so much to be grateful for and your expression of feelings is what did the trick for me. I have had some issues lately(spinal cord surgery) which I won't elaborate on, as I detest people who complain about their maladies when there is someone like you who KNOWS what being ill REALLY means!!!! God bless you and keep up the good thoughts. I know it is not easy. AND also very scary but you are a good girl and you WILL get through this. Thanks for helping me. You are such a DEAR person.

Jodi, these are indeed the emotional and reflective time of year for all of us. These reflections invoke both happy and sad emotions, sometimes sad even more so, but even within the sad emotions there is happiness because of the memories themselves. I choose to believe that both my happy and sad reflections are really all happy for me because when I remember loved ones passed, I have the privilege of those memories and always will. Your heartfelt emotions are all part of the human condition and, if you really think about it, is you going out and living your life as promised to your therapist. All I’m saying Jodi is that this is not necessarily a bad/sad time, this is a new normal that must be appreciated in both bitter and sweet… I sincerely hope you understand my ramblings here and if so, I hope my ramblings will bring you peace and perspective. Please know that I am so very thankful for knowing you and for whatever time the Lord gives us together. Go live that life! Go appreciate the happiness within the sadness! Go enjoy every second of the holidays with friends and loved ones! Go eat, drink, be well and prosper! Go Jodi, and life will fulfill you. My prayers are always with you. So anyway, you know my drill, keep on keepin' on, stay positive and all will be well. I am sending you Thanksgiving holiday hugs and kisses. Miss you and love you lady! XO XO
Jodi, my heart and soul are with you. I don’t remember exactly when, maybe 5 years ago. Your mom was here and I was supposed to come to your home. But I had to go to the hospital as my mom died a week later. Felt so sad to miss the time with you and your mom. Always loved both of you.
You have so much life inside you. I remember your telling me that you are an “ old soul “. Such a wonderful ability to relate. This makes it obvious to me why so many people adore you, including moi.
You are invited to be with us anytime. Would love to spend time. Can come to Wisconsin with us where it is beautiful and peaceful. Animals are welcome. I know you are going to FLA., but before or after❤️.
Kenny and his family are coming for Thanksgiving. He would love to see you. Rob’s daughter recently moved here from New York. She too will be here. She is single and lovely, making jewelry which you have in common. And as you know, Kenny went through a year of hell with colon cancer.
Oh Jodi, I know this is going to be a difficult holiday season for you however remember how far YOU have come. I so feel your pain and the worry of the unknown and I do know how that feels but you HAVE to live your life for today. You have soooo many people in your corner who love and support you. You have come so far and damn it, you are going to have a full happy life. Hug that sweet Dean of yours and know I am sending my love and prayers your way. xoxoxo
Thank you for the new journal entry. Good to hear that some days are good and others are better. You are in my thoughts and prayers daily. You are such an inspiration to us all. Love you dear Jodi!! ❤️❤️ Hugs to Dean.
Sooooo good to see you yesterday!!!!! You've always looked so beautiful on a horse, and still do. (Not gonna lie, I'm a little jealous!). I want you to get an image in your mind of a lovely trail ride at WEF. We can all go together - you, me, Mary Beth, Molly, and Lorrie. Look out Wellington, here we come! Oh, there will be stories to tell. :-)
Jodi, I’m so thankful for you. I admire your bravery, for all you’re sharing and all you’ve overcome. Stay strong and know you are loved. big hugs and much love xoxo
Hey dolly, first and foremost, I LOVE your honesty. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE..keep being vulnerable, keep being you and keep living each moment as it comes. Easy for someone who has zero experience with what you're going thru to say, right? But, when I read your words, I feel you, I hear you and what you say matters so much. I can't possibly imagine what this holiday season must mean to you and how it must make you feel. But , you sweet girl are so surrounded by love and strength. I believe in a higher power and I believe in angels. You've got some special people looking out for you. Much love to you and you're always welcome in Dallas, if you need an escape. I'd love to have you here and see you.I'm also going to make it to Chicago one of these days. I can't believe I haven't made that trip yet!!!!! Rick is literally there almost weekly. xoxo, Kimberlee~
