Female listeners are leaving traditional talk radio because of the rough-edged, shouting nature of it. Women want more light and less heat.
Jane Fonda
Image
Being by myself, that is to say, without a man - it's been a long time - is allowing me to know what it feels like - to live in my own skin, to remember what I miss and don't miss about a relationship.
Jane Fonda
Image
Christ was the first feminist and because of that I've learned from his teaching to call myself a Christian feminist, adding that her faith is not a matter of traditions and dogmas but, rather, a spiritual experience.

Image
Consistency can be a trap, especially if it leads to being consistently wrong rather than to stopping, admitting your mistake, and changing course.

It's never too late - never too late to start over, never too late to be happy.
Jane Fonda
Image
As is my way, when I start something that I've put off doing, I always start with the hardest form. So I started with Ashtanga.
