So, in the interest of reestablishing my proper schedule, I am bringing back my weekly Woman Crush Wednesday to highlight women who mean things to me. The first WCW for 2019 is Heather Robb-Orr. 6 years ago, I met a kind, smart, funny woman a gajillion years younger than me (the woman was born in the ‘90s!!!), who loved the geekery that makes me so happy, she read the same books, and actually got my non-stop movie references in place of actual sentences. What I didn’t know then, but am grateful for now, is that this woman would go on to mean so much to me and to my family. This woman who helped decorate for my daughter’s fifth birthday. This woman has helped me get through some of the worst times in my life. This woman has been with me during both my tattoos, my health crises, my mental health struggles, my family’s hardest times. She thinks about others, taking on their problems as her own, in order to sit with them. She is strong, and smart, and funny, and holy frack is she determined. She loves hard, she works hard, and she plays hard. The thing with Heather is that she will just 👏keep 👏showing👏up, and she does not always get the appreciation that she deserves, because it is so easy to forget that someone who shows up so hard for others needs people to show up for her, too. Heather, I am so proud of you. I am proud to be your friend. I am proud of how much effort you put into living your best life. I am proud that you are my kids’ auntie. I am grateful and seriously, your CrossFit Instagram @hrobborr needs to be seen by all! Love you so much, Lady. You are the Beauty AND the Beast. And dammit, but a woman’s place is legit in the resistance. ❤️❤️💪
