Happiest of birthdays to one of our shiniest (all)stars! Not only has Beverly shown us what can be accomplished if we really put our heart and soul into it, but she's always been the first one to jump in and welcome new people, encourage the new and veterans alike, and provide motivation and inspiration when needed.
Known for her wit, compassion, innate perception (and love of Chinese buffet) our Boiaby can be a bit of an enigma at times, especially when words that would make a drunken sailor blush spill out of her shy persona! She's sweet, she's funny and she's one **** of a writer (I'll be looking for her on a best seller's list one day).
All my best wishes for the upcoming year ~ one where you will revel in freedom, satisfaction, fulfillment and fun. You deserve all that and more, my dear girl.
Wow, everyone!! You all mean so much to me. I know I don't post a whole heck of a lot anymore, I'm usually much more of a "lurker", but this place and the 100 lb. club especially have been my lifeline for years now. I always know I can count on all of you for unconditional love and support, and I've made some of the best friends I've ever had here. So thank you all, from the bottom of my heart.
Beverly
*Edited thanks to my dear friend Jilly, who always has my back! No Jilly, I didn't mean to say I can't count on everyone, yikes!! But you guys knew what I meant, didn'tcha??
Happy Birthday Boiaby!
