We ask ourselves whether we appear to be a good person to ourselves, whether we ap... Read more of this blog post »

So I had a revelation one day leaving church.

I already know not to listen to critics. I already know not to let them stop me. I already know not to let them define me or my work.

But in my writing journey, no one has really given me a bad review. No one has plainly stated "You suck." There has b... Read more of this blog post »

Once again, my brain is full of mental tape loops racing around and repeating and repeating in my head.

When I was a young reporter in the Chicago bureau of The Wall Street Journal and new to the city, I sometimes found myself home alone on a Saturday night without plans or a date.

Thank you to all the readers of my memoir, Stand Up. As a new author, there's a great deal of information being internalized regarding how this whole "book publishing" thing works.

Every time we try something new, we risk failure. Every single time. It doesn't matter what it is, we will succeed or we will fail.

Sometimes the fear of failure is paralyzing. You make excuses, put it off. Will you push through or give up?

Whenever I feel like I just can't do so... Read more of this blog post »

I remember
how one evening
your whisper echoed,
as if you laughed.
