’23 and Me
This year started off with a BANG! I think so many of us desperately want to turn the page on the last couple years of disruption with Covid-19 and “get back to normal”.

November to Remember
I think November just might be my favorite month, which surprises me a little because I am a warm (not hot) weather person.

PRIDE
Earlier this month I received a card in the mail from the Human Rights Campaign. The image is of a beautiful rainbow heart, and right next to the heart is a thank you to me for being an HRC member for the past 21 years. What surprised me most was that it had been 21 years since a dear friend and I walked into the HRC store on Dupont Circle in Washington, D.C., and I made...
