She Jumps Off Cliffs and Flies, Even When She Hits the Ground

ljgeoff  is one of the most remarkable people I know. She is a writer, a nurse, a mother, an adventurer, someone who stands, looking at life, saying some much more feminist version of "Come At Me, Bro." And she wins more than she loses. 

She has patience; her capacity for hard work and almost endless empathy are awe-inspiring. She is unafraid - or if she is afraid, she manages to negotiate a truce with fear so that she can keep moving forward. 

I could not do what she does; I can't write the way she does; I can't work nearly as hard - but I can be grateful that I know her. 

And did I mention that she's beautiful, inside and out? I didn't? Bad me. 

Happy Birthday, my dear! May 2018 treat you as you deserve to be treated - gloriously.
