Did you know that Lace isn’t the only one with a birthday this week? Our very own Marlise celebrates her special day today! We all know this page would be lost without her, and we hope you’ll join us on the web page in telling Marlise, mother to our new sapling, LoR admin extraordinaire, and all around amazingly lovely human being, how much she means to our community.

Marlise, ever since I began my walk here, whenever I saw “M Boe Flores” on a thread, I knew I was about to LEARN something. The depth of your analysis and your vision right to the core of the racism and white supremacist structures always strikes me as a boning knife in skillful hands. You cut right into things, every time, parting everything out into pieces I can see, and can’t believe I couldn’t see before.
I have learned so much from you, and have admired you so much these past two years. I want you to know all of that. I know that 2020 is tap-dancing its peak 2020-ness on your corner of the world these days. But I hope you have a chance to be as happy as you deserve today on your birthday. You’re an incredible person, I’m so glad you were born, and all my love to you today! Happy happy birthday!

Happy Birthday, Marlise! I feel like I get to know you more with each comment you leave and how you model growth and humility and kind candor. I hope you have an absolutely wonderful birthday and with the newest little sapling, I’m sure close by, that you have a chance to rest on this day. I so appreciate your work and effort to make this space such a remarkable spot. Sending love and birthday joy to you! Also… I’d love to see your quiz so we could learn more about the details about you!

Marlise, I can’t wait to one day see you face to face. I have been so blessed to have the opportunity to know you better this year. You have become my dear friend. I love the way I can learn how to do relationship well ~ with someone who is real and vulnerable and honest about her own learning. You come along side me and help me reveal the things I’d rather not see. Looking forward to knowing you ever better!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
