WEDNESDAY WOMAN: SALLY SUNSHINE!

This is my friend Anita, aka Sally Sunshine. She is my Wednesday Wow Woman, because she brings so much New Zealand sunshine wherever she goes! She is everybody’s cheerleader, and like all Good Samaritans, puts herself last on the list! She is one Hot Momma and charming grandmother to her four delightful grandchildren. What’s not to love about a fun Granny who buys you ice cream and brings you love wrapped up in big colourful ribbons and bows.

The list of hungry hearts she feeds is long, and getting longer by the day! There was that stray cat she fell in love with in Costa Rica and brought home on the airplane, and the beloved pet dog she exhumed from his city dwelling, because she wanted him to sleep peacefully in the forest. And her walls covered in art work she bought from all those starving artists, just to be kind!

The butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker, the neighbours all around her in the condo block, the lonely girl down the street, the widows, divorcees, people needing rides to the hospital, the airport, the bus, the forgotten pets, the forgotten people… She reaches out like Mother Teresa to each and every one. Hello Ms. Wednesday girl! How do you make time for everybody?

We both love to have fun and push the boundaries of grown-up behaviour! Neither of us behave appropriately for our age, which is a good thing. We like to wear bright colours and big bling, eat fish tacos, and be merry. Is it any wonder then we have been friends for a very long time. Sisters from another Mother!!

Happy am I to have Sally Sunshine in my life!

Hugs,

Patricia xxx
