New Years Wishes
I wish you all the happiest of New Years in 2023 and offer a suggestion that might make your year more satisfying. Many years ago, a federal judge of my acquaintance told me that, that's right there rather than making New Year's resolutions, she chose a theme for the...

An audiobook would make all the difference for those who naturally learn well by listening but not by reading. Women Can Renew the World If…and So Can You, however, is not appropriate for those who like to listen to books while they’re doing something else, such as household chores, or worse, driving. I want your opinions and ideas please.
