I'm learning a lot about the culture of weight loss. I didn't know there were bloggers out there who were proud to be fat.

People look for their leadership to lead.

If you can attract highly educated people from other parts of the country and keep your own best and brightest, chances are the job creators are going to be successful.

Jobs follow people. People don't follow jobs.

Human rights, race relations, gender politics, health care, and foreign policy - it's a lot to keep track of, and yet all of these things affect us in our daily lives. Making sense of everything requires meticulous unpacking of feelings, delicate navigation of social norms, and a community of love to help along the way.
