My second career is going well and is slightly different from the first. That is, there are no deadlines and drop-dead schedules.

Following a couple of decades working as a journalist for some of the world's best-known news organizations, including the Associated Press Bureau Chief in NYC, I decided to retire a little early. Something I learned while being a slave to the news cycle, is of toxic stress is the archenemy of longevity. I’ve pivoted to projects like teaching communications and this blog that hopefully will add to my life rather than chip away at it.
