Like you, I do have to limit my exposure to the News since this Crazy Election has played out... it's exhausting and has so much Negative Energy that I just have to take breaks from it all, while still staying updated Bohemianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03743017084098726581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1931021721708713850.post-30791383110636668082017-03-03T13:23:50.744-05:002017-03-03T13:23:50.744-05:00I think kindness is probably the best place to sta...I think kindness is probably the best place to start.

I really feel there is a very healthy movement growing.<br /><br />Reproductive rights are something I already fought the good fight about. This time around I will leave that one to my daughters.
