I was re-reading one of her many quotes, about leading in a way that makes people follow. I admit that I have become very angry in the last year, and more so in the wake of George Floyd's murder. My Facebook posts and Tweets reflect that and I can not let that anger consume me. I will continue to not tolerate racism, sexism, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, but I will also do so in a way that honors Justice Ginsburg.
Today is the first day I have not cried. When I found out on Friday I sobbed. Full-on, heartbroken, devastated sobbed. Grief is hard.
I hope I can do better to honor her memory going forward. I let my anger get the best of me at many times, and that is not how she carried herself. She has been my idol for so long and I have to do better to honor her.
Yes! So many rights that we would not have if not for her. Too many to count, that we take for granted without even realizing it. I am devastated still today, and the grief continues.
May we be worthy of her example, strength, intelligence and courage!
