#RRBCRatersNotHaters Unfortunately it is more common than it should be that girls "should" have been boys in parents' judgment.

#RRBCRatersNotHaters Are you ready? I was told my parents would not have become divorced if I had been a boy. Not nice!

I'd had reading experiences with Yoruba babas and believe there is another realm some people are able to plug into. I have very loud dogs here I'm watching because of the fires so I can't call in right now. #RRBCRatersNotHaters

Thank you Beem for the lovely commercial! #RRBCRatersNotHaters

We have been evacuated from the Sonoma Country fires and are safe in Berkeley. The winds are fierce there still so we don't know when we will be able to return. All friends and family are safe. Thank goodness.

My goal when I retired was to never wear stocking again! I've succeded. Nice to hear your voice, Forrest. #RRBCBringOnTheSpotlight

You aren't the only one becoming emotional, Forrest. #RRBCBringOnTheSpotlight

The respect for one's own authentic voice is most important and one our RRBC members are careful about. Thank goodness. #RRBCBringOnTheSpotlight
