Happy birthday Juliet

My beloved sister, Juliet, turns 26 today. In honor of her birthday, I give to you a list of what is amazing about Miss Juliet -

1. She is a hard core salsa dancer!

2. She plays clarinet, piano, and koto. In fact, she has a degree in music from Eastman

3. In spit of the fact that her degree is in music, she is smart and savvy enough to get hired (with no experience) to do digital marketing at Digitas in Boston. She then proceeds to do a kick ass job!

4. She is passionate and full of fire. Whether it's about veganism, some aspect of economics, the environment, or whatever, don't get into an argument with Juliet - she will knock you down with her will.

5. Most importantly, Juliet is very very loving. I have especially appreciated this aspect of her over the last couple years ago as I've found that she is always there for me in my time of need. And what could really be more important than how loving someone is?

Juliet, thanks for being you. I celebrate your birth!
