I have, over the years, been a daughter, a wife, a stay at home mother, a working mother, a grandmother, an attorney, now retired, and an ordained Presbyterian minister, currently also retired. In other words, I’ve pretty much been through being female over the last seventy years.
My favorite pastimes: reading and writing. I’m told that with age comes the ability to speak one’s mind. I am not sure that’s true. But I guess we are going to find out, because I do have a mind. With opinions. On a lot of things. (Just check the tabs). So I am going to speak my mind. Buckle your seat belts.
