There is no one more real than Ashley. A friend who will continuously surprise you with her humor--the piss your pants kinda laughter. She is a friend who will "kick-your-ass" into shape if you're straying from what's true. Her passion and quest are inspiring and you feel good relating to her-- and don't be surprised if she's "friggin' touched"!

Ashley is a fun, witty, intelligent gal whose knowledge of pop music and literature will astound you. I'm just getting to know her, and I'm so glad that I have!

Little did I know when I sat next to Ash on a plane to London over 7 years ago that I'd be typing a TESTI about her and telling everyone that such a well-read, educated woman would have such a strange (but hilarious!) obsession with POO.

Who else but Ashley could hold poop, the pursuit of compassion, and the purveyance of literature in equally high esteem?

Only a Buddhist reading Joyce while on sitting on the porcelain throne.

Ashley and I go back. Way back. Like
nursery school back. makes me happy
that she's teaching english. I always
find comfort with someone who knows the
difference between there, their and
they're (there's the donut, it's their
donut, they're the donut people...)
but, hey when did she get married?
