Rebecca Carolyn Conrad was born on this day in 1969. She had a childhood like all children have; their stories are personal in how they remember the tale. It is not my tale to tell. She grew up, worked and gathered the skills, knowledge, opinions, feelings that became the incredible woman I met in 1995.She changed my life that year.
Beckie has a beautiful, discerning, analytic, no-nonsense mind. She is an excellent teacher, a stalwart ally, an incomparable creative, and a gifted mother. Beckie was able to accept the original medicine she was born with, and add other gifts she gathered along life's path. Like her own video game, she landed on the caches of special powers that would be valuable and useful as she journeyed through this life.
Beckie inspires the people she meets to do the best they can. We've all met people who have this special gift, and they make finding a good path and the work in doing the right thing much easier.
For two years, when I was struggling mightily with cancer, she held my consciousness. It was not weighty or burdensome for her, and she quietly went about her own life with love, while ensuring that mine was as peaceful as could possibly be. She is a powerful and awesome spirit and I admire her strength of character and will. She is an evolved human being. I hope we will see more people like her come into the world, and take their place among the healers and peacemakers of the future. We need heroes like Beckie, with her unconditional love and clear-eyed vision.
On your day, beloved Beckie, I light a white candle to honor you, and wish you joy, comfort, peace and the company of a glorious host of more human beings just like you.
