From a 2016 Facebook post:

Just caught my husband talking about me in a comment thread (I was not even tagged in the post) about spirit animals, he was arguing that my spirit animal is a bear. “She is the human embodiment of the bear’s nature. A strong undercurrent of relentless power combined with calmness and caring.” Wow… “I think that’s the best compliment of my life,” to quote “As Good as it Gets.”
