Very inspiring for LOTS of future story writing. If those women didn't slow down, neither can we :) Jacqui Nelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12793508141294935459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152821032321828999.post-53429356834844902019-02-08T15:46:21.953-08:002019-02-08T15:46:21.953-08:00Jacqui,
