As I read them, I could hear her throaty laughter and remember her smile. We were lucky to know her!<br /><br />Here's another brief remembrance of her on the blog, written by my collegue Roy.<br /><br />https://dissenttheblog.blogspot.com/2010/03/last-couple-of-days-ive-been.html<br /><br />Take care.Rebel Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00695051285325585662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16908834.post-76425567957880703312023-12-07T17:49:25.707-08:002023-12-07T17:49:25.707-08:00Jody was an amazing soul.

I found this blog searching on line to find her birth date, which was late November.<br /><br />I was lucky enough to meet Jody in 1982 when I was 17 and in my first semester at Saddleback Community College. She was one of my professors.<br /><br />Reading this blog brings back so many wonderful memories and I have been thinking about her solid for the past two days and the many good times we had together.<br /><br />I find it impossible to describe her using words. Those who spent time with her will know what I mean. For those who never met her watch the movie Paris Can Wait and you will catch a glimpse.<br /><br />Jody taught me a lot in so many ways and I was lucky to spend quality time with her until she left us. Like many others I was able to spend a semester in Paris with her and Josh when I turned 21. A group of us went to dinner for my birthday and 3-1/2 hours later, after much laughter, dinner finished. Then Josh and I spent 3 hours walking across Paris to get home because the metro had closed.<br /><br />Jody was deep. She was funny. She was intelligent, kind, mischievous, thoughtful, adventuress.... <br /><br />She had one of those really cool small houses in Laguna Beach that transcended you when you walked in. It was like going through a portal to a whole different, special and unique place.<br /><br />She read my Tarot, we ate fresh figs under her fig tree in her little front yard, she talked about all the artwork in her living room that her daughter painted. In many ways she blew my mind, heart and soul wide open.<br /><br />She enjoyed the small things like eating a whole fresh mango in hand with the juice dripping down our arms. On the other side in Paris she would make her signature dish of fresh pasta, creme fraiche and chantrelle mushrooms washed down with a simple wine.<br /><br />In France I drove with her and Josh through the central and south regions and visited Montsegur, Perypertuse, Carcassone and other amazing places. We picnicked on the roadside sitting in a field using my second hand trench coat as a table cloth.<br /><br />There is so much more. Thank you for having this blog and a place for us to share our memories and benefits of knowing Jody. May her light that is inside of us all continue to burn brightly and blossom as we move among in this life.<br />With gratitude.

Just wanted to send you some love and remind you that you had a huge impact on my life. I've been vegan for 35 years and the credit is to you. I have a degree in philosophy and that was also largly influenced by you. I remember in class once you said, "Everyone is so damn unreflective?" and that really stuck with me and seems to be more and more true in our country these days.
