Congratulations President Biden and Madam Vice President Harris! Here’s to leadership, to getting Covid under control, to healing AND to the first female Vice President! Finally! An historic inauguration filled with hope, color, poetry, and for me, tears.

Happy Birthday my dear madre. Tomorrow we welcome a first in our nation — our first female Vice President just in time for your birthday. Your kind of birthday present. Your spirit, energy and passion have inspired many a blog post but there’s still so much to tell. I pulled this bullet list portrait from last year’s tribute.

🌸She preferred to be in her bare feet and always kicked off her shoes under the table.

🌸She raised four kids in six different houses, two of them in different countries.

🌸She was old-style Hollywood beautiful and whip-smart. She wore very little makeup and would often blow dry her hair by sticking it out the car window.

🌸She was always late. My father, always prompt.

🌸She was a ruthless gin rummy player and had a long-standing imaginary tally with my father and he owed her one million dollars by the time she died.

🌸She has staying power. I see her reflected in the genetic repeat in our daughter, in my nieces, and in my own reflection.

🌸She thought true class belonged to the intellectually curious, to the ones who probe, to those who ask “what about you” and to the compassionate. In the world according to Jessica, class has nothing to do with money or status and everything to do with generosity of spirit, humility, and intellect.

🌸She preferred her dogs to most. She loved animals and never stopped advocating for better animal welfare.

🌸She was a constant reader. She loved Robertson Davies, William Shakespeare, Tom Stoppard, and Emily Dickinson. She liked PBS and she adored Murder She Wrote.

🌸She was not a great rule follower. She didn’t leash her dogs, she invented parking spaces, and often crept up in the cue.

🌸She loved her mountains and her mountain flowers.

🌸She loved Elvis, opera and all the great musicals.

🌸She was a pragmatist but very superstitious. She painted ceilings blue to keep the spirits out. She put mirrors up in hallways to block bad energy and if she felt hostile otherworldly forces in a house she would immediately scheme for an exit.

“I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.”
The studio is closed to honor Martin Luther King Day. It is up to each and every one of us to stamp out white supremacy and racism. I know this may take generations, but let’s start now. If you think this is not on your doorstep, not your cause, think again. Every hate crime matters. Police brutality matters. Every toxic slur matters. A confederate flag wielded in the Capitol matters. This is not about which party you identify with—this is about rejecting contempt for your fellow woman or man. This is about rejecting centuries of systemic racism in favor of inclusion and respect. I didn’t earn much of what I have just by stint of being white. I took, and still take, so much for granted. I moved through life without the threats that haunt anyone of color in our country. Put your pocketbook to work to invest in businesses that are inclusive. Non-profits that embrace diversity on both their board and in their staff. Ask questions. Push against entitlement. Make sure your kids’ schools are reading James Baldwin, Zora Neale Hurston, Alice Walker, Maya Angelou, Ralph Ellison, Langston Hughes at the very least. These should be required reading. It starts with education.

I would love to hear from you. What are you reading?

One of my guilty pleasures is studying anyone else’s list of favorite things. No glossy has asked me for my top ten but no matter. Here are some of mine: our tote bags, our masks, my @shinola watch, which reduces the amount of time I look at my phone, the fabulous John Robshaw Prints, the Earth in Her Hands, my grandfather’s magnifying glass, my vegan hummingbird wallet, my water bottle, my favorite @tombowusa pens and my @isabey_brushes watercolor brush.
