December 14 is the birthday of Molly Clevenger Russell, daughter of Mercy and Hal, sister to Claire, wife of Daniel, niece, cousin and friend to a whole bunch of us. She states that when she grows up, she wants to make people smile.
And she does that in so many ways! Molly is a graphic designer and illustrator with a BFA in Media Arts from the University of Montana. Professionally, she currently works as Senior Designer at Gershoni Creative agency in San Francisco, and is a member of Society6, an online collective of artists who offer their creations for sale. You can shop for Molly's artwork at this link.
She also beautifully illustrated a children's book called "Goodnight Missoula," about the magical little city of Missoula, Montana, where she grew up. To see more of Molly's work and read some of her own thoughts, visit her website here.
When I spent some time with Molly and the extended Whalen family at Mercy's memorial in September, I watched Molly shine, despite the profoundly sad occasion for which we gathered. The kindness, strength and compassion she displayed as we all said goodbye to Molly's sweet mama, was truly inspiring. I also recognize that a good part of her strength comes from her husband, Daniel, who Aunt Teresa describes as "a happy baker!"
So happy birthday, Molly, and may you have 94 more healthy ones, by the Aunt Joannie Sullivan Law of Longevity Aspiration of 2008.
God bless us and save us and keep us from harm.
