I understand pain. I've lived with pain my entire life. But pain is nothing compared to betrayal. And betrayal is nothing compared to knowing that the javelin in your back was rammed there by the one person in your life you actually trusted.

I tend to do something for two years then move on to something new. Yoga, then biking, then weight lifting, then back to biking. The moment it feels like a rut, I switch and search for a new love. It's like having a midlife crisis, but without the new wife or cheesy BMW.

So much harm comes into this world when the wrong thing is said. But that's nothing compared to the pain from what goes unsaid.

In this world, there was nothing scarier than trusting someone. But there was also nothing more rewarding.

Today, I don't believe in destiny. But I do believe in history...There's nothing more powerful than history.

On the day my daughter was born, I started writing a book for her. The plan was that, over the course of her life, I'd fill it with advice on how to be a strong woman. But along the way, I got caught up in the stories of Amelia Earhart, Sally Ride, and so many others. So how do you pick the best heroes for your kids?

Most archivists don't like surprises. That's why we work in the past.
