Una, where does one even start? You actually make it difficult to sum thoughts up in a few words. You are so interesting, intelligent, tummy-achingly funny, considerate, insightful, eloquent, o-mazing, creative, heart and soul of this community - a true role model and super-woman in my book. You give yourself unreservedly in every way possible to us. It's an absolute joy to know you, at least this way.
Your sharp observations and wit are legendary, your are Queen of One Liners, Oscar Wilde of this forum! You have made me not look at my cardigans the same way again - how can I ever forget *that* comment about senator /at that time/ Clinton vibe I was projecting in one of my early WIWs. It's in my personal Hall of Fame.
Una, as I understand it from Latin, means "one". You are our one and only, unique. Whoever chose your name and for whatever reason, chose the right one to reflect you. As cliche as it may sound, this place would not be the same without you.
You are a wonderful mother and it comes across in such subtle, but powerful ways. I love reading about you adapting your wardrobe to sitting at the floor in your son's class and woking with kids and I bet little people adore you for their own reasons just as much as we adore you here. A litlle bit of bling helps too
Last but not least, I am so happy we got to do *your* film on your birthday as the outfits inspiration this week: talk about little coincidences and Universe lining things up the right way - "Star Wars" making it to Top 5 and taking the spot it did based on the number of votes! It is most definitely yet another thing that I will associate with you forever, a perfect example of life's little but powerful joys.
I hope you had a glorious day and were celebrated in every way imaginable. And beyond.
Love,
O.
