My friend, Terri, posted this on Facebook this morning The author understood what so many of us are learning…. I look back at my life and realize how exhausted I have been fighting for everything!

Thanksgiving this year was just one of those events in my life where I said, Yep…can’t do anything about it…just get through it.

I also know that RBG, John Read more

I had no idea how depressed I was…I had no idea how much of my life had been sucked out of me…I had no idea how I had just given up…..I had no idea how angry I was… Until the moment President-elect Biden and Vice-President elect Harris were finally affirmed to be the next President Read more
