August 5th, 2013   •   no comments   

This has been a summer of odd contradictions. Of people behaving badly and moments of unexpected courage and heart.

And then, just weeks later, another moment in which we find a great athlete sadly standing on the edge of scandal and a lifetime ban, [ Read More ]

The three young women who had been kidnapped and abused for so many years while locked away in a house in Cleveland spoke out publicly for the first time. Each face and voice was unique and touching; each smile and word retrieved and honed, I suspect, at an emotional cost far greater and more painful than any you and I will ever be asked to pay. How brave to reveal themselves to the media and world. Yet, in order to move forward and rebuild their lives, how essential. While listening and watching [ Read More ]
