I met Maryjo when she showed up in my 43Things lists one day and started leaving all sorts of comments all over the place. They made me smile, think, and laugh out loud. When we are posting “dueling” comments, she brings out a creative bit in me that is normally hidden inside.

Since our first interaction, I have often been pleasantly surprised by her sweetness, generosity and candor. She bravely shares bits of her life in a manner that causes me to think. She often seeks out and comforts others who could use a kind pat.

And she’s beautiful, a Canadian, and quite insane.
