Oh, Maya -- shiny and Nicole in the same sentence is brutal. San, please tell me that we're not losing you!

Just so you know, every time I see my Nanette Lepore "Spice Island" jacket in the closet and feel guilty about splurging on it, I remind myself that the reason I bought it was that it looked so great on you.

And then it all seems fine.

Oh Sandy, you absolutely, 200% deserve the Ms. Congeniality title! From every comment you have ever written here, it is abundantly clear how much you genuinely care about people. It always warms my heart to see that you take the time to write something meaningful, plus you have a very, very good eye for fashion details and your tips and suggestions are always spot on.

I hope this doesn't sound corny, but you are one of my personal style icons. Our tastes in clothes is quite similar (I usually squeal with delight when you post new purchases;-) and every time I see you model one of your fab outfits, I go "oh, this is just perfect, the colours, the combinations, the details, everything is just right!!".

I'm so sorry to hear things are difficult for you at the moment, but know that we all miss you and we're always here for you.

Big hug and let us know what you're going to wear to the coronation ceremony;-)

I've already told you privately Sandy, but I miss you too. YLF isn't the same for ME without you. Your style blows me away, and your kindness is even more inspiring.
Can't wait to see more photos when you're ready!

Hope you can feel the love Ms.Congeniality. It is without doubt in great abundance around here FOR YOU.

Sandy, I am sooo glad that Angie started this thread. I also miss you and your wit and posts. You were there when I first found this site after I had a near-death experience and was home recovering for months. Your posts always made me happy. I am saddened to hear that there have been some rough times. I also fully understand that sometimes we just need to disengage, for whatever reason.

( Miss Congeniality, didn't she co-star with Benjamin Bratt ? Yowza... I hope that is what you have been "busy" with !!! )

Love to you and your family !

Your graciousness has come through and you have lifted my spirits as high as they can go. Thank you so much for welcoming me back and making me see that I am a part of this community.
Now I am chomping at the bit to start playing the game again. Show me where that camera is!

Sandy, I miss you as well. It was such a pleasure to be able to meet you and not only see your amazing style in person, but also get an even fuller sense of how warm and welcoming you are.
I hope I'll have a chance to see you in person again one of these days - and see you more on the forum in the meantime!
