I must say, the Jewish woman who comes to my mind is a former student of mine who keeps me informed and entertained each week. Of course, that Jewish woman is you, Ms. Miranda! Thanks again for a great drop!
The Jewish woman in my life who inspires me most is Miranda Lapides.
She weaves wit into serious discussions involving anything Jewish or secular that quickens her imagination and explorations. I do wonder if there is something about the world that does not intrigue, inspires and fascinates her. She is bold and courageous and willing to demolish in a sweet way preconceived notions. I’d say she is humble and powerful; and those are rare traits combined in one person. I truly admire her.
I think I am most authentic when I am writing poetry because I unravel and reveal what is really going on with me so it’s honest discovery that I embrace and don’t hide from (it’s not always pretty). Well two people already stole my thunder so we can’t swell your head up too much - so instead of identifying you as the woman who inspires me (which is true) I choose myself. Hasn’t always been the case, but as one ages and discards the binds of self doubt and insecurity, what emerges is a true appreciation of oneself. I love that I care about people and want to help them - I have a way of bringing people together and a way that helps people appreciate themselves. I think I am funny and I enjoy my company so much - we have so much fun together - I taught myself how to laugh loud and ferociously at all the little things that are so amusing and at myself who is the most amusing of all because I am my own muse.
Excellent choice of this week’s honoree; loved her! My ex- husband used to say that I wore costumes, not clothing. I took it as a compliment, even though he meant it as a criticism. My mom, myself, and my daughter, BrookeLynn are/were the confirmation I need. They are/were fearless! Miranda, you are fearless as well. Thank you 😘
I am my most ME self when my hair is super long lol. Looks like everyone has the same jewish woman in their lives that inspires them the most! Miranda Lapides!
