Finding our humanity

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 falling elevator

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 …

Serendipity

Today, a little moment of serendipity – the kind that makes me believe in everyday miracles all over again.

While I was sick, I had to cancel a haircut appointment with my beloved hairdresser.  She and I have been missing each other by phone for the last two weeks and my hair was getting to …

The car accident

a.k.a. – Carried on the wings of angels

This is going to be quick because I’m utterly exhausted this evening.

This morning on my way to work, I had a car accident.  The road was very slick, and although I was going under the speed limit, I still lost traction and went all over the …

What kind of movie should I star in?

My mentor and dear friend Rev. Nancy often admonishes me that in the movie of my life I get to choose whether I want to be in a horror/suspense script or a romantic comedy script.  And, wouldn’t you know it, when I call her, it’s usually because I’ve chosen to reread scenes from the horror …

It’s okay, you’re not gonna die

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 …

Clearing away the clouds

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 …

Letting the past be the past

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…

As you all know …
