Galentine’s Day

Today I heard is supposed to be Galentine’s Day I guess similar to Friendsgiving a new twist on old Holidays. I guess any way of celebrating friendship is a good day.

I follow Ashley Farley’s Facebook page and won a free Audible ebook for playing a game at Christmas and a small Christmas spatula. Fun and rewarding. Just a few tips for today.

My journey to today has been building since October of 2017 when my anxiety got the best of my life and I started this path to the here and now. In June I turned 48 and had some relationship messes. My goal for this blog is to share womantalk, my word creation. We always hear of girl-talk but at 48 we should be doing womantalk. We will explore together our experiences and build each other up.
