March was super busy and flew by. It doesn’t hurt that we’ve had crazy warm temperatures and virtually no snow (which is great for now but we are heading into a summer drought with water restrictions.)

In the past I jumped off a 50-foot-pole despite my crippling fear of heights. In 2021 I hiked the Bwindi Impenatrable Forest in Uganda to see mountain gorillas. I went paragliding off a mountain. Hell, I got remarried at age 57!
And for my 63rd year I booked a boudoir shoot. Read all about it and check out some of the photos HERE.
Also, one of my Generation Jones videos went viral and got 4.6 million views (and over 6,000 comments.) I think all of the old people on FaceBook have finally discovered me!
Along with eight million people, my husband and I participated in the No Kings protest in Denver last weekend. If you’ve ever wondered what you would have done during the civil rights era or during the Holocaust, all you need to do is look at what you are doing NOW. If you’re “staying out of politics” and passively watching democracy erode, you have your answer.

- The Only Matzo Ball Soup Recipe You Need
- Fried Feta Salad
