Several years ago a friend (who’s a little younger than I am) asked me to lunch. After a little chit-chatting, they got to the point: “I want to know how you reinvented yourself, because I want to do that, too.” I didn’t have a solid answer, other than to say it was an ongoing process.

Sometimes it goes this way instead. #dontwannaplay
Thirty seconds earlier, before I swung my feet out of bed and stepped on the floor, they were snuggled tight, back to back, sound asleep.
We did a mother-daughter thing. Also: last day of early voting is today (Saturday, 7/30/22). Also: if you have a child heading to college in the fall, she/he/they must vote in person in this August election in order to qualify for absentee voting in November. #firsttimevoter #vote #votingmatters
