Vroman’s Bookstore In Pasadena In Danger Of Going Out Of Business After 126 Years

When I was a broke kid just out of college, Vroman’s Books gave me my first line of credit.  It changed my life.  It has been the beating heart of our town since 1894 and the last great independent bookstore.  Now I have a chance to help make a difference to them.  I commit to shop there once a week at least until January.  Books, gifts, stationery, Christmas presents, and beyond.  If you can help, please drop by or order online.  Good people and a great tradition worth protecting.  #Vromans #MyVromansStory #ShopVromans #ShopLocal #Indiebookstore #independentbookstore

Ruth Bader Ginsburg

…and may we honor them. 

…and may we honor them. 
Visiting Ruth Bader Ginsburg in her office at the Supreme Court remains an indelible memory from my years with “Touched By An Angel.” Discussing the sacred responsibility of the storyteller to elevate rather than deprecate, humbled by her kindness, laughing as she proudly displayed her grandchild’s drawing of her as “The Bubbie of Liberty” was one of the greatest honors of my life. Whatever your political affiliation, may you find inspiration today in the lifelong commitment and sacrifice of one woman to excellence, to equality, to justice, and to her country.

Remembering Leslie Whittington on 9-11

Remembering Leslie Whittington, her husband and two children who perished at the Pentagon. Leslie and I were co-editors of our school newspaper. Remembering the commitment of the @TouchedByAnAngel crew to carry on that day as an act of faith and defiance. Remembering the lost and the first responders. Remembering how we, the people, came together for a little while as one. #NeverForget #911Remembered #Heroes
