“My whole life has been an effort to find freedom—freedom from myself, freedom from my own fears.”—Helen Mirren As a journalist, I was taught that the lede (the opening paragraph) of any story is my big chance to catch a reader’s attention.

“Your story doesn’t hold a candle to who you really are?”—John O’Donohue I’ve heard all the stories: Weinstein, CK, yada, yada! And here’s what I know.

“We need radical curiosity and reverent pranks, voracious listening and ferocious thanks.”–Rob Brezsny I’m the kind of person that replies to comments on my blog with exclamation points.
