The Unexamined Life

There was a lot to think about this week. There was a lot to listen to, a lot to process, and a lot to try and understand.

When a lot of noise is swirling around, I’ve learned that it’s often wise to take a beat. It’s good to take the time to reflect, then wait to see what you’re left thinking and feeling at the end of the week. I always have to remind myself that waiting is good.

Like many of you, my week started with watching the Oscars on Sunday. I had been excited to root for “CODA,” as it was one of those films that touched me deep in my heart. It moved me to tears and made me think in a new way about the challenges of those who are deaf and who strive to be accepted as actors. The film took me inside a world I didn’t know I needed to go inside, but I did. So I was cheering on Sunday for the film and its actors to get their due.
