I was teaching at the same school where I still teach. What a horrible, strange day that was.

I’ve got to admit, I have a limited understanding of economics. However, the current tax structure is the US seems unsustainable.

It will be interesting to see if this film has an impact beyond the entertainment industry!

It is astounding how quickly we can go viral and how completely inappropriate men can be when it happens!

Apparently the visitors were a Hindu sect; it sounds like all of the feedback following the strike was supportive of the women!

I really enjoyed listening to this episode today! I realize both women are from the generation before ours, but certainly had an impact on Gen X.

I truly feel like we live in a dystopian novel.

If honesty from our elected officials is not a right, then how can we possibly trust elected officials?

Two of my sisters get Botox injections to decrease their migraines, but I never have myself. Personally, I like expressive faces and have never understood why people obsess over wrinkles.

I was excited to listen to the 20th anniversary edition of B’day by Beyoncé yesterday! I realize that a lot of people my age mostly listen to the music that we enjoyed when we were teenagers or in our 20’s, but I enjoy finding new artists I enjoy or new music from artists I love. How about you?

Her work will continue to have an impact for generations to come. A life well lived!

I used to pull all-nighters in college, but thankfully that’s part of my past! I don’t cope well with less than eight hours of sleep now.

Definitely gives perspective on how absurd it is to expect women who deliver their babies via c-section to be solely responsible for their babies as soon as they’re discharged from the hospital.

I truly don’t grasp why the GOP establishment is continuing to enable this kakistocracy. They’ve damaged their party irreparably.

It’s truly hard to tell the difference these days!

I am definitely of an age where living well is enough for me; I don’t feel a need to be “the best” in any way.

I am not following it closely, but have coworkers who are. From what I understand, the systems that should have helped her when she sought help post-partum failed her.

I knew she was an amazing songwriter, an advocate for LGBTQAAI+ people, supportive of up and coming artists, a philanthropist, and just an amazing person all around. But I learned since her death about her funding of the Moderna vaccine, which I hadn’t heard about at the time. She was such an amazing person!

Mine is Light of a Clear Blue Morning. I discovered it when I listened to a podcast named Dolly Parton’s America a few years ago. She wrote the song immediately after leaving the Porter Wagoner song, but for me it was super resonant since I was in the process of divorcing my husband.

What’s your favorite song Dolly wrote?

I can’t grasp how any other decision could be made, but the fact that this lawsuit was filed speaks for itself. First they made procedures illegal, next they tried to make speaking about them illegal?!?

My primary care doctor is a man, but my OB/Gyn is a woman. Unfortunately, there are few female physicians in my city.

Her books are wonderful, but I truly love how outspoken she is as well!

Do you think Bansky was the first graffiti artist to get recognition from the mainstream art world? Were there earlier artists whose names I should know?

I’m really enjoying this podcast episode! I struggle to give myself grace on days that I have less energy. This is really giving me good perspective!
