I’m not quite sure, but when each of them discovers/rediscovers themselves, the whole world becomes a better place. So … this week’s blog isn’t about anyone over 50. It’s not even just about women!

I feel naked. Exposed.   My Mother’s Words: “Don’t Air Your Dirty Laundry in Public”   It’s a very personal…
