You Cannot Look At A Sleeping Cat

I Spent An Awful Lot Of My Life Underestimating Myself And, As A Result, Not Exceeding My Own Expectations.

When I Was Diagnosed With Bipolar Disorder The Year I Turned 50, It Was Certainly A Shock. But As A Journalist, Knowing A Little Bit About A Lot Of Things, I Didn't Suffer The Misconception That Depression Was All In My Head Or A Mark Of Poor Character. I Knew It Was A Disease, And, Like All Diseases, Was Treatable.

Kids Learn More From Example Than From Anything You Say; I'm Convinced They Learn Very Early Not To Hear Anything You Say, But To Watch What You Do.

I Have Been Fiercely Private, In Part Because I Could Never Understand How A Journalist Could Be Otherwise. I Was Also The Mother Of Small Children, And Security Concerns Were Paramount.

I Am Not One Of The Great Journalists Of My Time.
