Welcome to my blog
Updated: May 2, 2007
So what does it mean? There's more I want to say or share that we just don't have time for during the news. So this blog will be just that....but more. I don't want this to just be about me (you can almost hear my husband saying thank goodness!) I picture this space to be an opportunity for us to talk or you to ask questions, about anything on your mind. I want this to be a place to rant or rave on topics from serious to silly and all things in between. Some days it could be a news story that everyone's talking about or maybe you're just looking for something to do on the weekend with the kids. But I can't do this without your help. A conversation with one person...isn’t much fun. So how about it? Are you in?
I'll start...most days I love my job. I love being able to find out the story and I want to be the first person you hear it from. But last week, reporting on the shootings at Virginia Tech was just heartbreaking. And then to have a young person from Centennial High School killed just drove home the fact of how senseless it all was. These were people who had or who were going to have an impact on society. They were world-renowned professors and students who wanted to change the world, like Austin.
It seemed everyday was sadder than the last. I thought of some of my friends who tell me they can’t watch the news because it’s too much. Some days it was too much.
But then I think of my new friend. He’s different from the other kids at school and doesn’t have many friends. But I did a story about something amazing he did. His mom told me, the day after it aired, he was a superstar at school. People wanted his autograph. Someone invited him over to play. He was truly happy.
I cried when I heard that. And it made me love my job all over again.
