Random Encounters as Teachable Moments

So much of life, it seems to me, is determined by pure randomness. -Sidney Poitier

The Baker, a Memoir

Life is like cake. Some are perfect, while others aren’t. But do you want a pretty cake or one that tastes good?

To be in depression in springtime is the unkindest cut of all.

Some would say cats make the best pets, but I say cats actually turn humans into their pets.

What would I do? Put an end to voter suppression.

If I could have something named after me, it would be a chain of nonprofit mental health centers who turn no one away.

This is how it feels for me

I have WAYYYYYY more self-control than anyone gives me credit for.

Not all influential teachers are positive people. Mine was the exact opposite.

Never miss a chance to offer praise for those whose actions warrant it; you never know where it might lead.
