"Holding on to your insides" and not spreading yourself too thin
Friday, 21 February, 2025
Happy heavenly birthday to one of our most cherished Texas foremothers — Barbara Jordan!I attended a celebration of the late great Barbara Jordan at UT’s LBJ School this week (and learned about an oral history project on her legacy that I’m excited to check out). As part of Barbara Jordan Week at UT, the Barbara Jordan Public Service Award was given to Texas State Senator Senfronia Thompson who’s been serving in the Texas legislature for 50 years, the longest of any African-American or woman in Texas history. It was inspiring to hear Ms. T (as she is known) talk about getting former Gov. Rick Perry to support her priorities and the progress that can be made across the aisle when folks develop actual relationships with one another. A very Barbara Jordan-esque ethos.I briefly mentioned Empress Wu Zetian, who is associated with the Ten of Wands card in the Our Tarot deck.This week’s note is very “keep calm and carry on,” and I’m trying to embody that for myself this weekend even though I have a tonnnnn coming up next week (love to see you for some of it!).Hugs to you, friends!
