My dog Jeffrey and I saw it on our walk tonight. Gorgeous. Temperature and humidity were great too. Wonderful night to walk. Sometimes Los Angeles is still a glorious place to live.

Culture says women at midlife are at their limit or “finished.” Good grief.

What if that moment is actually the threshold to renewal, creativity, and power?

I also recall hot summers without air conditioning. But we couldn't go to the municipal pool or air-conditioned movie theaters. My mom told us, "It's polio season." We kids knew what polio was. We saw the deformations on the street, in the shops, salespeople at the door as well as in classrooms.

When I was a child I was accustomed to seeing polio crippled classmates in school. It's not something I forget. I hope we don't need that kind of tragedy again for people to be aware of what a preventable disease can cause.

You're in midlife. One day you wake up, and the life you’ve built no longer fits.
The rules, the roles, the expectations—you’ve outgrown them.

This isn’t a breakdown.
It’s the call of your unlived life.

Stand with truth. Stand with Colbert.
