Why I'm glad to know velvetpage

[beetiger]

velvetpage is a woman I really respect a lot. We come from rather different worldviews, philosophically. But I think in a lot of ways we both agree on the things that are important in this world: thoughtfulness, family, taking care of the people you care about, and being kind rather than mean-spirited when you have the choice. She's the kind of person who finds the things you have in common, not the things that separate you, and can engage you on that level. I love hearing stories in her journal about her daughter. I envy her Canadianness when it comes to maternity leave and the like. She's gentle in the world, but fierce when people she cares about are in trouble.

Blessings to you, velvetpage. The world is better for having you in it.
