Happy Wednesday! I wanted to let you know that I will be taking a vacation for this next week to celebrate my birthday on Saturday and visit the Atlantic Ocean for the very first time. I know, I know, but I was born and raised in Arizona and have never gotten the chance until now.
SHERO will return in full force next week in order to gear up for a resumed Congressional schedule and more hotly anticipated Jan 6th Hearings. I wanted to make a playlist for you that expressed my vibe which is relaxed (finally), but excited. I wish you all a wonderful week and hope you enjoy these last days of summer with me! Thank you for being here.
You can download my Saturday Birthday playlist from iTunes here or Spotify here. Enjoy!

Happy Happy Birthday Amee! Enjoy the Atlantic!
I am back home in California after a couple of weeks of walking along the Atlantic Ocean every morning for the last two weeks in Massachusetts. You're going to love it!
I sincerely hope you enjoy the ocean and that it is a wonderful and memorable experience for you. As a Midwest girl, I remember my first and only trip to see the Atlantic Ocean. I was only three years old, but I remember the sand was so hot that my father had to carry me into the ocean, and when we finally got there, we were knocked over by a wave. Apparently I didn't like the taste of the salty water, because I reportedly said "Yuck! It tastes like pepper!" (I was a confused little girl who mixed up my spices. I'm better with my spices now, but I'm still often confused - thank goodness for your posts!)
So Happy Birthday, Amee! 🥳 Enjoy your day! 🌞Go make some great memories! 💜
