What a wonderful reminder of Sandra's deep spirit. It just shines from her eyes--the spirit of a wise woman unafraid to stand and beckon. I'm remembering the Global Women's Forum Sandra conducted in my living room on Capitol Hill. Same spirit...same beckoning. How many people, how many places. Happy 70th, dear Sandra, and thank you.

Dear Friends, July 2 marks Sandra True’s 70th birthday. I ran across this picture and it triggered a welcome memory. We had just spent the day going door to door to get out the vote in Pennsylvania, an important swing state. We bused there from New Jersey with Tim Lush and Rebecca Nichols. The emphasis of our canvassing was on women’s rights and engagement. We felt empowered, alive and joyful in the exchanges of the day. Sandra cared deeply for the empowerment of women and this thread ran throughout her life – in her work, friendships, and family. She had a special collegiality with the strong women of the Movement and Order. She loved standing shoulder to shoulder with local women in communities around the world. So, please join me in a birthday remembrance.

Bob

Thank you so much for sharing this Bob! What a wonderful picture that says so much about Sandra. I feel greatly humbled and privileged to have shared in the phenomenal life and spiritual legacy that was Sandra True. I join in celebrating that life which came to be in the world 70 years ago on July 2 and her place in eternity with Being Itself.

Bob, I thought Sanda was about to say something when I saw that picture. So much like her!

Thank you Bob for sharing this precious picture. I am surrounded by pictures of Rodney from every phase of his life...and i find that very sustaining. As i prepare to move to an apartment in a center for "older" folks I am having to decide which of the hundreds of pictures in this house i will have room for. Pictures are central to my life...and you can see that for you in this marvelous picture of you and Sandra.Since Rodney's death a year ago I have used different pictures of us together for my profile pic on Facebook. This pic of the two of you would be lovely as your profile picture on Facebook. Just a thought.
