I was pleasantly surprised when my roommate treated us to tickets to see Jane Fonda at the Castro Theater in San Francisco.  What a woman!  She’s absolutely riveting and delightful in every way, and she’s a total badass too!  She schooled us in all kinds of life lessons, such has not wasting any valuable time getting motivated and organized around hot topics such as war and birth control.  

“If you can’t change the people change the people” Jane spoke on the topics of political leadership.  

You can watch a recap of evening here:

One of my favorite things she said is: “Hope is a muscle you have to work at it”. 

Another thing she reminded us of is that: “You can’t make your life longer but you can make it deeper”.  When one man asked her how she keeps her energy up, admitting that he was getting tired from working so hard, she responded that she was 85 and having no trouble staying motivated, and that he better get with the program. 

“It’s okay to be a late bloomer as long as you don’t miss the flower show”.

“I’m going to do everything I can in my last act to not have regrets”. 

One final lesson she reiterated was: “No is a complete sentence”, and when some guy from the audience asked her for a hug, she responded flatly “No you may not”.

Jane (and Manny) were both legendary, and frankly, it felt like we were truly sitting with greatness.  If you haven’t done your homework on her good work, nows the time to start! #firealarmfriday

I’ll make this real easy for ya~
