oh my goodness.

the story that I watched was so compelling, I went on to read the article.  There are many women here who would understand exactly what Doris Buffet went through as a child.  And look who she has become.  Wow.

And look who YOU are.

You do give it away, with fountains of generosity.

No worries whether it's money, wisdom, or empathy...

You're a Doris to me, CB!

much love,
