This week I’m very excited to host someone I have had the great honor of knowing and loving my whole life – my great Aunt Dot Fisher-Smith. Since I was a little girl, I gravitated toward Dot. I always felt a kind of solidarity with her that defies age. She is a sister to me. She is a friend. A mentor. A confidante. And I think, specifically with death, a subject most people are not comfortable talking about, let alone planning for, she has been a touchstone for me. Beyond my relationship with Dot, she is an activist and agitator who led anti-war protests during Vietnam, chained herself to Redwood trees as an environmentalist with Greenpeace and has lived a loud and proud life of civil disobedience.
Google Dot Fisher-Smith!! Here is the incredible YouTube documentary about her.
