Dear Lisa: Thank you, thank you, thank you for all you do to let in the light, and for your inspiration and encouragement to all of us, so beautifully expressed in this year-end essay.

Enjoy your well-earned family time. Here’s to a New Year filled with light.🙏❤️🙏

Thank you, Lisa for shining the light.

I tend to make mental notes, sometimes jotting in a journal, of all the slights I have encountered by my blue bubble friends, some now former friends. There seems no way to reach them. If other verifiably liberal friends are nodding along to their young adult daughters chopping off their breasts, calling their daughters, sons--then what's my problem?

(I must be from the wrong side.)

I am thankful for your work.

Make mine a double Middle-aged Lady!
