I finished reading The Year of Magical thinking a few weeks ago and it was exactly what my soul needed after two of the hardest years of my life. Thank you, Joan Didion, for sharing so much with us (and putting Sacramento on the map) I want to read everything you’ve written. https://t.co/lr1uTaLC2l

I interviewed @susancain this morning about her new book Bittersweet - which is inspiring me to stop hiding my melancholic tendencies! We talked for an hour about the power of sadness and, believe it or not, it was exhilarating.
