There are those people in our Society that embody not only its ideals, but who amplify joy and excitement. Beatrix is one such person. Her exquisite explorations of the arts inspire those around her - but the greatest gift she shares with us is her positivity, encouragement and enthusiasm. Ansteorra is blessed by her presence, and I am blessed by her friendship.

Beatrix is the busiest of bees! She flits around bringing joy to those who are graced by her presence. Where can you find her at an event? Usually nowhere! She very rarely sits still long enough to find her anywhere! I did once spot her napping, what a rare sight! She is one of the most positive and enthusiastic people you could ever meet here! She is just as energetic and happy to pitch in with work as well, make everything appear to be effortless! I am so pleased to call her a friend.
