IRON HIDDEN IN SILK
Today, we celebrate Linda Lee Cadwell, a woman who embodies the phrase, Iron Hidden In Silk. I am lucky enough to have known her for decades. We first met at a Bruce Lee event, where Jerry and I were teaching. So many years later, the guys are still talking about how beautiful she was in her stunning red dress!
Besides her obvious physical beauty, Linda’s inner strength and resilience in the face of adversity is an inspiration. Linda does not walk in anyone’s shadow. While helping preserve a legacy, she is a life force all her own.
After Jerry died suddenly, she urged me to continue teaching and to continue his martial arts and JKD legacy. I do so today with her blessing and encouragement. To the elegant, beautiful, Linda who is proof that kindness is more powerful than any punch or kick. All we can say is “Thank you, God, for her positive presence in so many lives.” Happy Birthday Linda!
