Hello All, One of my greatest heroes has died – actually she is many women’s hero and idol – a true icon. A woman who was a role model of courage, conviction and commitment.  A champion for “equal means the same” – for women, for the LGBTQ community, for the disabled. A true giant wrapped in a tiny frame. Ruth Bader Ginsburg. The Notorious R.B.G.

Hello All, I must start by sending many thanks and prayers to the thousands of first responders who are battling the elements – from the horrific wildfires out West to these brutal storm systems (hurricanes and tropical storms) – all in the midst of an ongoing pandemic.
