I’m peopling again! Getting together with my girls from every circle is sweeter than ever. Problem is, I’m not used to socializing so I’m a Chatty Cathy for real. I’ve got a year’s worth of stuff to talk about. They seem to tolerate it though.

It takes 20+ years to build reputation. Eventually, you shift from focusing on success to significance. This inspiring group of women certainly paved the way for me, and I am honored to share a “trailblazing” reward w/ such luminaries.
KY House voted to override the Governor's veto of SB 83 the ban on transgender girls playing all-girls sports in middle school through college 72 to 23. The Senate did the same earlier this morning, it will now become law

Sesame Street helped shape my worldview, and I saw the possibilities of what I could be. Thanks for being “intentional in inclusion” before that lexicon entered our consciousness. May our real streets resemble more and more the neighborly love of Sesame Street!!

Renee Shaw. Well done again on this evening's Kentucky Tonight.
So, if you, like me, ran out and/or didn’t stock up on snowmageddon supplies in time for rounds 2 and 3 expected this week- this remedy is worth a try.
One of the sweetest rewards of my job is emceeing community events and watching my dear friends get the shine they so deserve. Tanya gives so much of herself to community and to lift young, single moms. Don’t hate me because my friends are beautiful!
