    That's my little girl Sahana who wrote to the VP-Elect @KamalaHarris and bugged me until she got a reply. :) This young generation is going to slay! Thank you, dear VP-Elect. Your taking office tomorrow is a beacon for girls all over the country. We wish you lots of strength.

    I am child-free and on vacation after more than a decade and I can’t tell you how light I feel. Traveling just for myself without worrying about a gazillion things is incredibly nice.
