I had a couple of profound experiences during presentations at this weekend’s newspaper conference. One of them came in a luncheon about covering mass shootings, particularly school shootings.
It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. At the front of the room two unlikely men sat together: John Voket, the associate editor of the Newtown Bee (the weekly …

The last few days have been quite an adventure! I was at a newspaper conference on Friday and Saturday in Boston.
Due to winter storm Nemo (seriously? They named it after a clown fish???) all the public transportation closed mid-afternoon Friday, as did all the roads, so the city emptied out. We were lucky to …

I’ve been having trouble with my contact lenses for the last couple of months. So much so that I’ve taken to wearing my glasses to work a few times a week, which is extremely unusual. A while back I called my eye doctor for an appointment and today was the big day. And with it …

Today has been a big day. Two major miracles! 🙂
First, I’ve made a serious commitment to myself. As you may know, I spent two years traveling to Maryland to study at the Inner Visions Institute for Spiritual Development with Iyanla Vanzant. During that time, I healed a lot of my old inner junk. I …

Last night I introduced you to several of the women I met over the weekend, including a beautiful young woman named Jen. There was one piece of the story that I neglected to share, so tonight I’m giving you – as Paul Harvey would say – the rest of the story…
