I'm always looking for safe, non-addictive ways to manage my anxiety/panic disorder.
I recently discovered these little mints often keep me from spiraling. So I live on them because whatever helps! #MentalHealth #TikTac

The only benefit to being a single empty nester is eating ice cream directly from the container.

But honestly, I'd much rather share with a good guy who makes me forget dessert.:)

Thank you!

I released Love Later right before my birthday in 2023.

My sons and their partners surprised me with a glamorous, delicious dinner at Musso and Frank in DTLA to celebrate both occasions. They insisted I bring the book and bragged to the staff about my accomplishment. 😍

Happy 82nd Birthday #BarryManilow 🎉

The time my oldest son celebrated his 21st birthday with you. 😍

I’ve never been more proud to be part of humanity! 😍

I believe in God, so I find it interesting that during the LA protests, the weather in Los Angeles is pure perfection.

However, it seems the “birthday parade” in Washington, DC won't be as fortunate! 🤔

I'm 5.9 miles from DTLA. If LA and surrounding areas were burning—as MAGAs are erroneously saying I’d see and smell smoke. I'd hear sirens.
But alas, the sky is blue, and the only sound is birds chirping.
If you choose to spread “news” make sure it's accurate or quietly take a seat!

It's like we’re collectively sliding down a slippery slope, and none of us can stop!

So, anyone thinking #tiktokban would get a last-minute reprieve.

Nope!

It shut down in the middle of being logged on, and the message—screenshot below—popped up.

It seems to be structured so the orange doofus can be a hero.

And because of that, odds are I won't use the site again. 🤷‍♀️
