COIN LOSS: The United States ended production of the penny on Wednesday. For more than 230 years, the penny has circulated through American piggy banks and cash registers. But rising production costs – each penny now costs nearly 4 cents to make – and shifts in consumer behavior have made it impractical to keep producing them.

Hey!
Calling all Wonder Women!
We all are sisters…pulling together with one spirit.
50 years ago today the first episode of the series Wonder Woman aired.
I truly believe the reason we liked her was because we recognized her within ourselves. The multifaceted parts of her personality, her strength, her beauty, her warmth, her tenacity, and her honesty is who you are!

We recognize those qualities in her because those are the qualities that women possess. We understand one another because we alone are the Mothers of all Mankind. We are magnificent…at every age…at every challenge, and we do whatever it takes.

I love you all and as I reflect on the stories I have heard you share with me, the art you have drawn for me, and the kindness you have given me for 50 years…..
I WANT TO THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART FOR THE LOVE YOU HAVE SHOWN ME. THANK YOU GAL GADOT, and DIRECTOR PATTY JENKINS, FOR KEEPING HER LEGEND ALIVE AND STRONG!

Tons of love to all of you,
Lynda
