Richard Simmons passed away today at the age of 76 years old and one day. TMZ is reporting that he fell yesterday, and that might have led to his death.
Everyone knows who Richard Simmons was because he was larger than life. And what a life he led—one full of happiness and joy, which he shared with all of us.
He inspired us with his positivity. So today, let’s celebrate his life by laughing and making someone laugh. And don’t forget to exercise! That is how he wants to be remembered.
Thank you, Richard Simmons! I learned to be positive because of you.
Dr. Ruth Westheimer passed away today at the age of 96 years old. She helped to normalize talking about sex by talking about it so openly. And I am so grateful she did that because she opened the door for all of us to be more open about it.
Dr. Ruth did not have an easy life. When she was 10 years old, her parents sent her to Switzerland to escape Nazi Germany. That was the last time she saw them because they died in the concentration camps.
1956 she moved to America and got a master’s in sociology. But her life would change forever in 1980. That was the year that she got her radio show. It was such a huge sucess; she got a talk show.
From her talk shows and books, people got to hear someone talk about sex openly. That was something we were not used to. And it was just what we needed as the AIDS crisis hit America. She pushed safe sex, and we listened to her. She made wearing condoms cool. She made sex cool!
What Dr. Ruth was missing in height, she made up with her huge personality. And the world is a lot more dim without her.
But don’t remember her with sadness; remember her by asking someone a question about sex! Let’s keep talking about it to keep her spirit alive.
Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Peta Murgatroyd are now the proud parents of three boys. Milan Maksim came into the world yesterday at 8:48am, weighing 8lbs.
The new dad wrote, “Birth details later but for now we wanted to let you all know that mom and baby are doing perfect, and delivery took around 47 seconds total! Exactly one push!”
