I went to visit the Women's Rights National Historic Park on Oct 3 but alas, the shutdown meant that it was not open.
Instead I visited the Nat'l Women's Hall Fame, across the canal in Seneca Falls.

Thanks to all of the women who came before me who fought hard for the right to vote!

Happy Mother’s Day to all those out there who feel like a Mom in some way!

I’m lucky enough to still have my Mom in my life but she’s not on social media so she won’t see this post. 😂

I wrote this book for woman but the truth is that my book can help folks of any age and gender.

This is my first post on BlueSky. I'm looking forward to being in a more positive social media environment.
