If you admire a woman, if her strength, her inner beauty, her talents, and her dignity are an inspiration, tell her.
Tell her.
Tell her.

If you admire a woman, if her strength, her inner beauty, her talents, and her dignity are an inspiration, tell her.
Tell her.
Tell her.
Dignity. People deserve dignity, at least. And I dare say, the mark of a strong woman (or person of any sex or gender, really) is that despite whatever happens around her, her dignity and her belief that she deserves that dignity never wavers.
I aspire to that, too.

I don’t think people give Betty White, Bea Arthur, & Dixie Carter enough credit for their eloquent, outspoken views of women’s equality & well-being. They championed beauty at any age, but more importantly, they championed women finding confidence, embracing their intelligence, 1/2

I need a laugh. Let’s play a game.
Things you could say both at the Thanksgiving table and in the bedroom. I’ll start.

Just checking in with the world. America is still a tire fire, I see.
I know it’s exhausting, demoralizing, and depressing, but you’re fighting for the people you love. Keep at it. Keep going. Keep fighting the bullies and the bad guys.

OK, this made me giggle out loud.
I happen to be quite popular with freaks and weirdos and I consider that the greatest possible honor.
