Vulnerability is a wonderful tool for awakening and for learning and for growing and for connecting.

I love lyrics. They help me to figure things out.

Seeing what was needed in the hospital firsthand - someone needs to come in and just be with patients, without trying to take their blood or change the bedpan, and to give them human-to-human touch.

I do what I do because there's nothing else I can do.

The system is broken. The doctors and the nurses can't do everything. The patients need human attention; the patients themselves need to be addressed, rather than just their disease.

I feel vulnerable every single time I step into a classroom. I feel completely exposed.

I can honestly say, I have the love of my life, and we have the most amazing children.
