Hey Jodie,

I just wanted to say that I think you're fabulous and lovely, and you're always so positive and upbeat, it's intoxicating (in a great way).

I wish we lived closer and I could sit and have a cup of tea with you....

because I know I would leave a better person after spending time in your company!!
