..the appointment of Lynn Rosenthal as the new White House Advisor on Violence Against Women…

New WhiteHouse Advisor on Violence Against Women

Wow. If I were to consider ALL the amazing women I know, there is no-one better for this job than Lynn.  She is the most TENATIOUS woman, incredibly passionate and articulate.  And wow, someone I know has been appointed by the Obama administration as an adviser to the white house ?? Geez that’s weird, what a grownup I must be.  Wow.

I knew Lynn back in my Clinic Days, she took over my job after I left. She was one of my first circle sisters, was Jill’s nextdoor neighbor and a fabulous friend. I remember a night at her house when I was prenant with Morgan, verrry pregnant, my last traveling before the birth, she reassured me, held my hand, and we laughed hysterically at everything and everyone, especially our own lives.

Way. to. go. Lynn !
