What's in a famous last name?

A note to all three of you who read my blog, 🙂

I always get a knot in my stomach when I hear people talking about people in the public eye like they know them so well.

People love to to tell stories about people who come from families that are in the limelight, but do these people really know the person behind the famous last name? Most likely, NO.

Today, along with many of you, I received the news that Eleanor Mondale’s cancer is back. My head tells me that she will get through this with the same strength she did last time, and my heart is happy that she will have her loving husband Chan and her family by her side.

When I first met Eleanor, I had heard so many stories about her that I wasn’t sure if we would hit it off or be like oil and water. Well, to say we "hit it off" would be an understatement!

I knew I would like Eleanor when she scolded me for calling her "Ellie" after our second lunch and made me go back with her to her car and put on something more appropriate to wear before I made a complete idiot out of myself at a charity function.

Shortly after spending time with another person who was new in my life, Leilani Baker (a makeup artist extraordinariness), it was clear to me that I had met two woman that would change my life forever. After years of so-called friends in my life, I finally experienced real, honest, and true friendship for the first time.

Let’s face it: we woman can be tougher on each other than we are on our worst enemies.

To have not one but TWO female friends that are kind, caring, and filled with complete and total unconditional love is a blessing that I thank God for every day. The stories and the adventures that Leilani, Eleanor, and I have shared, and will CONTINUE to share, are so sacred to me that I can’t, in my heart of hearts, come to share those experiences with anyone but my "Two Janes."

So please, DON’T call me if you are from the media and want a quote to sell papers. This friend of Eleanor is going to respect both the public persona AND the cherished, private person who I call "Farmer Jane."

I do, however, want to let Eleanor know publicly that I will be happy to shovel up any horse crap if she only promises to take care of herself and get her butt back on the radio. 🙂

FYI: I am saying that I will help with farm chores for the record so that Eleanor can hold me to it.

Love ya, cowgirl!!!!

-Posh Jane 🙂
