Jody Williams, a Nobel Peace Prize winner for the International Campaign to Ban Landmines, has been one of my heroines since she personally emailed me back in 2007 when I sent an email to her through her website.  She appeared on The Colbert Report last week and did a terrific job -- check it out below.

In the email she sent me all those years ago, she ended it with "do not give up." I haven't yet and don't intend to.  I always like when she reappears on my radar because it reminds me of that very fact.
