Hope you’re better today. You jogged a memory from 1993 when I was taking an accounting class as an adult and all my professor talked about in class was politics. I had to learn from my textbook and study group. Anyway, good news from my coast no hurricane prep needed. Thankful for that. 🙏

Hahaha. That might be taking it too far. I started watching The Way We Were for reasons and was struck by the fact that Barbra Streisand’s character never stops, either. I know it’s a film, but literally every scene, even when she’s cooking a steak lol.

I do hope you get well soon.

Since I'm relatively new here and you mentioned Rufus in quotations, I'm going to assume he's a pet and not a euphemism.

Rest up.

Rufus is my dog :) He’s a rescue, he’s huge and very sweet.

Rufus will help you!

This is fabulous. I will send it to a very long “best friend”.. it’s weakened as she wants nothing to do with politics.

I understand 10/18 is …No kings.

Everything is politics. So if you don’t do politics I suggest you jump in now! My friend is a woman and maybe should be aware of rights taken away

So sorry you are not feeling well. Please get well and rest…period. Writing is not resting!!

So please everyone must show up as we are no longer sliding in we are there!

You are a huge light Ally…. keep on shining and writing

After you have recovered 💜💚🩷

Thanks so much, Lynn. I am still in my backyard, under a blanket, in a hoodie and fuzzy socks and Rufus is working on a tennis ball at the moment. I’m feeling a little better, hopefully this will be behind me tomorrow. Just a rough one for whatever reason! But I am okay 💞💞 And yes, everything is politics really. Except dogs maybe ;) xo

Oh glad you are better. You amaze me!! You are an inspiration to us all and your words are part of the revolution!!

My new mantra is the escalator event… Jolt to Revolt!

That escalator moment!!

Then realized this isn’t the space or place … to complain about my last 18 days… internal bleeding 3 night hospital stay …. Tests, scans, blood work, ultrasounds,

Mri next Wednesday….

I know stress causes dis ease…’and right when we need health care this guy is stripping it.

Medicare and supplement so ok so far.

Please rest and my best to you, your son and daughter. The self defense class is critical. My niece went into marines… . And two sons and daughter all have black belts plus….. layer after layer. So important!!

I took self defense for women 50 years ago… more than one class is needed it’s ongoing and it affects every part of our being so yay for her!!!!… wish I had started younger and never quit.

Marched for the ERA which never did pass!!

Take care Ally and we need your strength!!! You are a leading voice!

Oh Lynn, I’m so sorry you haven’t been feeling well and I hope you are okay!! I’m actually going to my doctor asap to try to get anything/everything done and scheduled before the end of the year because after that I have no clue! Anyway I am sending you huge hugs and wishes for your speedy healing.❤️‍🩹 Lots of love from me and Rufus and my much happier head!!
