Many people see grief as pain. They avoid it, suppress it, or race to process it so they can expel it from their lives. Here’s a beautiful alternative: grief is unexpressed love. Holding onto it is a way of staying close to the people we’ve lost.

Happy Thanksgiving to our members and all those who support women leaders! We are thankful for you!

In this moment, so many decisions are complicated & difficult. Lots of conflicting opinions, thoughts, & feelings. #relationships have never been more important to #leadership. We may not agree, but if there is a relationship built on mutual respect, the outcome will be better.

You are a gift to the The Agnes Irwin School community & I’m delighted to welcome you back! 🤗

Let us not return to what was normal, but reach toward what is next.

My son, Alex Jacobs, just had his first oped published. May I just brag for a minute? “We need to do more than trust the science” mnmed.org/getattachment/…

Sidney told me a story about Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner. Spencer Tracy was very ill (died 16 days after filming). To get it funded, he guaranteed his estate would pay if he died during filming. His final speech was actually his goodbye to Katherine Hepburn. Everyone cried.

@brianmilam1973 Sidney said “the crew cried. They have seen everything. Have never seen a crew cry.” Katherine Hepburn’s reaction once you know this story is heartbreaking.
