Soaking up the last little bit of this glorious LA weather before heading back to the current epicenter of government corruption, Washington, DC.
I am extremely motivated for the accountability fight that’s on the horizon.
Time for a renaissance of ethics in government.

What's a favorite Helen Reddy memory or song of yours? 🎶
Remembering Helen Maxine Reddy, who was born on October 25, 1941, in Melbourne, Australia. Born into a show business family, Helen Reddy started performing as a singer/entertainer at the age of 4. In the late 1960s, she moved to LA and recorded her 1st single, "Debut Ticket." On the B-side of her 2nd single in 1970, "One Way Ticket" was the song, "I Don't Know How to Love Him," which reached #8 on the Canadian RPM Singles Chart. Reddy went on to place 15 singles on the Top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100. Six made the top 10, and 3 reached #1, including her signature hit "I Am Woman." In 1974, at the inaugural American Music Awards, she won the award for Favorite Pop/Rock Female Artist. Her song "I am Woman" became an anthem for feminism and is still widely used. Helen Reddy died in September 2020 at the age of 78.
