We live in a world where joy and empathy and pleasure are all around us, there for the noticing.

Great stories happen to those who can tell them.

I am mostly a pretty worried person. In conversations, I am always worried about what to say.

But sadly, one of the problems with being on public radio is that people tend to think you're being sincere all the time.
