.160 Kathy Lim

I recently was reminded that the antidote for a dreary day is just 15 minutes on the phone with Kathy. This was always the case back in college when she would walk into the room, commonly our TEDx meetings, and provide an immediate burst of fun and laughter. Coupled with that is the lovely and important perspective she wields that would always add helpful thought to whatever we were faced with. Her mind and energy are things I will always appreciate.

Kathy not only brought me so much joy when she was around, she also brought such a wonderful vibe to the entire team and all of her friends. Her impact on others was (is) always so clear in that her friends, including myself, feel such encouragement and peace from her. She just has this calming and refreshing orbit about her that is both inviting and supportive. As a teammate, friend and human being, Kathy sets an example into how to be kind, present, and good.

Kathy, thank you for being so bright, both with your brain and personality. Thank you for the time and energy you give to those around you and thank you for genuinely making my day better yesterday when we spoke. Thank you for being honest, open and exactly who you are, 100% of the time. Thank you, Kathy, for being you.
