Remember those Yosemite Sam mudflaps that said ‘Back Off’? We need to resurrect that, only we need it as a handy little sign women can flash when they feel threatened. Let me back up a little. I find the aging process a mostly enjoyable and interesting process. I’ve never been more self accepting than I […]
