I’m not a politician. I am a woman, a mom, and a grandmother. I have been marching my whole life. I started just out of high school when I made a life detour to break off a good relationship with a boyfriend because I believed that he could turn into an abuser just like his dad. I was a PTA leader in my daughters’ school. I was a Girl Scout leader for ten years. I was a CSEA union leader at work. I was a office manager at an elementary school for 20 years. I believed I was part of great movement helping teachers and parents educate children. I’m retired now from working and try to find joy and happiness with family and friends. I helped guide my children through their childhood with example, showing goodness, common sense, and love. I saw potential in my daughters and encourage them. My bottom line is happiness and joy in life. I do feel like I have have marched everyday of my life to be a smart, useful, and remembered woman, even though I didn’t physically join the crowd in LA. I don’t feel lesser than them. I’m proud of them for doing what they feel is right for them and other women. I do “thank” the women before me and now, who tackle politics to fight for our rights. They are strong in their convictions. You have an impassioned plea – don’t expect all women to follow your exact lead. So Wendy Lyn Newell, I love you and support you even when your impassioned plea scared me. PS I love my husband who whole heartedly believes that all women should have the right over their own bodies.
