WOMEN
STRUGGLE ALL OVER THE WORLD
THAT WON'T STOP STAR
And Kelly and are
already totally downsized
So we are good in our tiny house. Our tiny peaceful
home.
So. Despite Trump. Despite
Dana announcing to move back
to Carmel, and Monica moving
to LA. Despite
bad legs, 90 extra pounds, I am calm
and happy.
Have I even written
these words before? - Rights
