Colleen Jones asked me to interview her a couple of months ago during a chemotherapy appointment.

She told me to write one heck of a story. I hope I did her proud.

About always believing something wonderful is about to happen.

Colleen Jones was a tour de force. When you were with her you felt invincible and that anything was possible. She made you a believer.

Ursula von der Leyen:

These are core European principles moving forward:

◾️Ukraine's territory and sovereignty must be respected.

◾️Only Ukraine, as a sovereign country, can make decisions regarding its armed forces.

◾️The choice of their destiny is in their own hands.

It is not an American plan for peace.

It is a Russian plan for complete Ukrainian surrender, which #Putin is allowing his tame lapdog #Trump to pretend is his, in order to make it appear fair and equitable.

It is neither.

Few things in life are more annoying than being told to be patient. But that’s exactly the message companies are giving to customers waiting on hold to get in touch with customer service.

GREEN MAGIC IN WINNIPEG

The Saskatchewan Roughriders have won their 5th Grey Cup in franchise history.

I’m so thrilled for my home province. It’s more than a football game in Saskatchewan. And we’ll be celebrating this one for a long time.

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.

Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."

Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

Hi! Many things are bad you can still have a great day. Try to plan something fun offline like a walk outside, picking up a favorite pastry, going to a local farmer's market or a nap. You still deserve joy and time to rest and recover.

In a business that can appear cut throat from the outside, I have never heard anything said about Heather Hiscox, other than she's delightful! Consistently, across the board.

May this chapter be as rewarding, but with a later start time.
