Has your idea of what makes a good friend changed as you’ve gotten older?

There is no first entry titled that, it is just the vibe of how my friendships have changed over time. I don’t have a need to be around anyone that needs excitement. Yesterday, I did nothing, but I did nothing with someone else so it felt good. In years to come I will not remember what we ate or what we talked about, but I will remember the feeling that I got, which is the same rush when I met Aada. That’s because they are the same personality type, which is high octane.

Her masters degree is in higher mathematics. I can rarely if ever find my keys.

But that doesn’t mean that she is high octane and I am not. She understands why the Fields medal matters, and I understand why Rambeau and Hunting wanted to punch a wall  

There is balance in the universe when someone else is as equally powerful as you and there is no need to compare and contrast. I have never wanted any of the women I had admired to see me as lesser than, or to see me as doing anything, but picking up the lessons that are there when I was looking. 

Scribe & Smith is now a national pilot program pitch because I started with a mayor in Pennsylvania and she pointed me to a representative in Hawaii and then I emailed both Hawaiian senators because I think this is a perfect project for Maryland and Delaware but it also scales to Hawaii and the territories.

I’m trying to give Harriet Tubman everything. She deserved in old age and didn’t get, but there were many female spies and soldier soldiers that came after her and they don’t all live near the eastern shore.
