Hi Effie, I thought about you today. We didn't know each other long, but you made such an impression. I hope you are at peace and I hope that your family finds some solace that you were such an amazing influence to even your briefest acquaintances. All my love from England.

I'm frequently thinking about time shared with Effie, creating energy + possibility and connecting people + ideas. Today especially thinking of her laughter, and the care and warmth she brought to inviting people in.

Just a few of the things that have me thinking about Effie on a regular basis. Recipes she shared with me.  Food. Good food. Eating good food. Laughing and cooking with friends and family. Beets. Potatoes. Beautiful eyes. Irreverent silliness.

Still thinking of you, Effie.  I'll be remembering with many of our SI colleagues.

Thinking of Effie today, and often - she has a place in my heart. I’m so glad to have crossed paths with our exceptional friend, and send a virtual hug to family.
