This was such a great article, it talks about the great “stripping away” happening now. You can also watch the trailer for the movie “I Am” here. We saw it this weekend, I’ve been recommending it ever since. Find where it’s playing and go watch, you’ll be glad you did.

“Sorry to mess up your chair,” she said, sweating. “I’ve been going 90 miles per hour.” Can you relate?
