By Nancy Ford Ahhhhh. That’s the collective sound of America exhaling — something most of us have been waiting to do for more than four years. Suffice it to say: tensions have been high. The election broke all records in terms of voter turnout, from voters on both sides. Do you know what else was

By Nancy Ford It’s significant to note that this is the final What a World I get to share with you prior to the presidential election. My, how time flies when you’re living in a fascist regime. Kidding. It’s been a long, hard, exhausting four-year cluster-covfefe. I agree with the general assessment that this election
