As a child, my sister and I often visited my grandparents for the day. My mom would drop us off and give us each $1.00 which in the 70’s/early 80’s was a lot of money with strong purchasing power in the candy store world. We would plan our strategy before […]
The form asked “Do you like your Smile?” and I was stumped as I never really thought about my smile. Now, if it had asked “Do you like your thighs?” I would have immediately wrote “NO” in capital letters, double underlined, but that’s a given – what women loves her […]
In the past year, I’ve been traveling in search of a tribe, looking to see where my interests and passions fit best, looking for people who get me and trying to find a common idea/goal that has a safe place to grow. Hoping to find all of me fits in […]
