You're a tremendous inspiration to me in many ways. Loved reading about your decision to turn back the clock weightwise a few months ago. Your lifestyle, fashion, and cooking offer me lots of "food for thought". Having had health problems for awhile, I've recently had to rethink my approach to life. Love coming over here seeing what you're doing. Thanks for being candid about so many areas of your life. Now, will you help me come clean out MY closet?Debra@CommonGroundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04830455848744270459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2191490968189022599.post-42346941205624552752012-05-14T12:04:03.567-07:002012-05-14T12:04:03.567-07:0030 YEARS!
