Mimi Writes

Mimi Lenox sim­ply calls her blog Mimi Writes. But Mimi does much more than that. She is one of the most pop­u­lar blog­gers on the inter­net. Sure, she is a great writer, but we are sure she is an even bet­ter per­son. When she is not shar­ing her can­did takes on life in her Blog­ging­ham Palace, she is writ­ing humor in her Dat­ing Pro­file of the Day blog. You could also find her with her biggest pas­sion as founder of the Blog­blast for Peace movement. The Ris­ing Blog­ger has a Peace Globe of Mimi’s in our side­bar. The post The Ris­ing Blog­ger picked to award is titled Sup­per With Daddy. Mimi does not get a lot of alone face time with her ail­ing father. She did recently and the words seemed to flow out and help Mimi share with the her read­ers her inner emo­tions, “The hugs I missed grow­ing up are now painfully and achingly bit­ter­sweet when I visit — because I know his time is short — and so does he. Of course, we’ve been say­ing that for sev­eral years now, and each time he lives to prove us wrong; this time, how­ever, there is some­thing dif­fer­ent about his resolve. His gait is steady. His eyes hold a let’s-cut-to-the-chase-and-not-waste-time look, and these days, his hand grabs mine hap­haz­ardly at times and holds on, each fin­ger curled around my own, spelling all the I love you’s I never heard. Fifty years of silence has melted with the cov­er­ing of that strong smol­der­ing father shadow, and sud­denly, the bruises –mine and his — mat­ter not. My father’s wrin­kled and well-worn man­tle has risen at the eleventh hour.” We are hon­ored to award Mimi our Post of the Day! Mimi, con­tinue to write with grace and wit. You are one tal­ented lady.
