This resonates big time! I will read all of your articles. So inspiring, also, that you got an MFA at 56! I turned 53 in April and am mourning my pre-menopause self. I have become shy, embarrassed, after decades of being supremely confident on the dating and intimacy stage. I think there's something to explore there. Really happy to have found you, Debbie. And, I'm over in Oakland, FYI. Danville is beautiful. :)
