EARLY FEBRUARY 2022
I live in Paris, France. In the 16e. The Auteuil. Inside myself, I am “Janet” from Gainesville. Or “Jay” from Los Angeles. I love both of them. I am just living in Paris. What does that mean?

PAYOFFS THAT MATTER
Normal is not coming back! WHATTTTT???????? Welcome to 2022! We cannot go back to what is “normal”. It does not exist. Normal is different for each one of us. And — LIKE IT OR NOT – most of us are victims. I don’t need you to agree. BUT – Although all of us have beenContinue reading “PAYOFFS THAT MATTER”
REMEMBER WHEN……

NEW YEAR / NEW LIFE
