I was honored to be a guest on Angela Kaufman’s radio show “Love, Intuitively.” We had a great talk! Of course I say that because it was all about me and about Women At Woodstock… No really, we talked about our generation, what drives us, and why this “sisterhood” thing is rising so strongly among
Why I Started Women At Woodstock – It’s Not Me, It’s You…
It was twelve years ago. I was turning the big five-oh. I was in the midst of a divorce after twenty-three years of marriage. There had been strife and tension in my life for many years. Socially, I’d been in a lay-low mode for a long time. I had friends, I went to gatherings of
