Good morning Mrs. Mingo,
I just wanted to share with you how you have changed my life. I have always been a go-getter but life knocked me down for a bit and I couldn't find my way. I was depressed and in a cycle that kept me stuck. I turned in and shut myself off from the world. I'd been following your blog for so long. Watching you battle some VERY tough things yet you had the courage to keep striving. You kept writing it down and making it happen. And I would too- but I'd get depressed and forgot to make it happen. One day I wrote a depressed blog and you commented to me. I was shocked that you'd take the time to reach out to me. I kept reading you and watching you make your dreams come true. I got to watch sisters and was amazed by your talent. You were seriously making moves. I would share your blog posts with my girls and my honey.
Little by little I started writing it down. And then I began to find the strength to make it happen. Before I knew it my dreams were coming true. I could take the hard knocks in life and not let them derail me.
Seeing your pictures from The Coalition premiere brings tears to my eyes. I'm so overjoyed for you, I can hardly stand it. And I remain inspired. Truly inspired. I look at you and I see a beautiful courageous woman who has triumphed in spite of.
Since my "low" point, I have started grad school and my honey and I have finally gotten on track. We've battled depression and both came out on the other side victorious. We made a major move 6 weeks ago to Houston, TX and we are building a life here. We are living our dreams with no fears (ok, a few) but we are writing it down and making it happen. We left our jobs to come see just how great we could be. We are looking to buy a house and to just live a fulfilled life pursuing our passions and so far we are. I am happy from within. I recognize each day as a blessing and an opportunity to live my dreams and be a blessing to others. We have along way to go but I wouldn't be here with out you.
I hope you know the impact you have on the world. I hope you know the impact you have had on me. You completely changed my world and I am eternally grateful. Thank you!
