Why it was worth the pain — Did you know that females have worse side effects from vaccines than men? I did not know that until yesterday, and I found out the hard way. I did not expect to feel as awful as I felt after the second COVID-19 vaccine. After the first Moderna shot, I felt…

Do one thing every day that scares you, even if it is writing — Tonight I wrote what very well could have been the first story I have written as an adult during a call with a weekly writer’s workshop.
