A cartoon of a king and an advisor, on a balcony overlooking a crowd of people with pitchforks and torches. The advisor says, "Oh, you don't need to fight them - you just need to convince the pitchfork people that the torch people want to take away their pitchforks."

I'm grateful to have seen Wicked again this afternoon. It's one of my favorite productions, in large part because it's a redemptive story. I'm a big fan of redemption stories, and I think we can use more of those kind of stories right now.

The natural human response to difficult feelings is avoidance. Real strength is learning to sit with those feelings, to feel them, to honor them.

Always be yourself, because if they don't like you, why would you want them around anyway? And what's the point of having them like someone else?

The things we needed from our parents as children are the same things we need from our leaders at work. It might look a little different. It might sound a little different. But our nervous systems are the same whether we are 3 years old or 93 years old.

I dream in colors that don't exist, in shades and hues that I won't see in my lifetime, but I paint anyway in the hope that future generations will be delighted and inspired to dream in colors I can't even begin to imagine.

Saying that a disabled child is doing well so they don't need supports anymore is like says we survived Y2K, let's reintroduce 2 digit years in software. Happy New Year!
