Notorious

Just like everyone else who has a heart and a conscience, I am deeply saddened (and frightened) by the passing of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. She is getting a lot of due attention and praise, and there is no need for me to go into detail here about why she is so revered and important, but I do want to share a quote that isn't getting a lot of traction. This statement in particular resonated with me, as an aspiration:

"[Ginsburg's mother] said two things: Be a lady and be independent. 'Be a lady' meant don't give way to emotions that sap your energy, like anger. Take a deep breath and speak calmly."

Rest in peace. Rest in power.
