a real woman speaks...

i've always liked maria shriver.

and now she's posted this youtube video. wow.

as everyone in the universe knows she and her husband have separated and she's going through a period of transition. in this video she talks about transition and how difficult it is. she says the most stressful part about transitioning is not knowing what you are going to transition to---yeah, exactly.

she asks the public to share their stories about how they've transitioned.

it's not often that women are honest with one another. particularly when it comes to speaking about things that are difficult.
women lie all the time about how hard it can be to work and raise children and be a good life partner. so, i love that maria reaches out in a investigative yet really personal way to get to the bottom of this.
