    Breast exhibit
    Came home to an amazing random act of kindness gift from Dr. Beth Sahlie, a pediatrician from Alabama I’ve never met (but she clearly knows my style! 🤣). She was on an anniversary trip to Venice, Italy, and saw a billboard advertising this “Breasts” exhibit. It explores all aspects of breasts physiologically, pathologically, culturally. Lucky gal, she got to see it! And she sent this amazing book to me as a present. Thank you again — I am savoring it 😍
