SuperShero: Jay MacGillivray

Jay MacGillivray pictured right with fellow Supershero Dr. Mona Loufty.Jay MacGillivray inducted into theLove Superhero Hall of Gratitude in June 2016 for decades of devoted care to women's health and laboring women. As a midwife, Jay has delivered more than babies. Jay has created safe passage for women and their families, paved a way for human care for women with situations often found challenging: street involvement, substance involvement, histories of trauma. Jay models not just compassion but offers a new way of living: in women's lives. She perceives even subtle imbalance and injustice, immediately setting it right with her own actions, choices, and behaviors. The world is safer, more humane, more inclusive and more loving because she lives and breathes. Thank you, Jay for shining your bright light! 

About theLove Superhero Hall of Gratitude

“The plain fact is that the world does not need more successful people, but it does desperately need more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers, and lovers of every kind. It needs people who live well in their places. It needs people of moral courage willing to join the fight to make the world habitable and humane.” David OrrI deeply admire those who "live well in their places." The ordinary and the unsung who offer to the world the very best parts of themselves without expectation. This is a beautiful expression of love in her calm, persistent, generous manner - offering a ripple of change (a metamorphosis) to the world. Inductees to the Love Superhero Hall of Gratitude are caped in recognition of their contributions to a love-filled world.
