Good morning to you (or good day, depending on where you are). I hope you’re exactly where you want to be this morning.

If you are new to The Sunday Paper, welcome. Or if you are a tried-and-true reader, thank you. I’m so grateful for all of you who are here with me. I really, truly am.

I’ve always tried to use this space to make sense of the week that was and provide hope for your week ahead. I’ve tried to use my words to assuage any fears you might have, and I’ve tried to use my life experiences to reassure you that things are going to be okay. I always aim to remind you that no matter what life throws your way, you have the strength to survive it, overcome it, and rise above it.
