    Paul was a gift to humanity. Such a big heart and generous spirit. I will miss his warmth and friendship. He inspired generations to ask how we could best serve the twin causes of health and justice. And he led by example. I’m heartbroken by his passing. I will never forget him.

    A moving reflection from Michael Powell about his late father: “The example of Colin Powell does not call on us to emulate his résumé. It is to emulate his character and his example as a human being. We can strike to do that. We can choose to be good.”

    After a day of difficult memories of 9/11, I’m blessed to find solace in the gentle sounds of our children breathing as they sleep. I hope to never take these precious moments for granted. Tomorrow the sun rises and marks a new beginning. May it bring peace to all.

    When I played this video, my 5 year old unexpectedly stopped playing with his legos and stood at attention with his hand over his heart. What a moving tribute. Thank you to our British friends for your support and solidarity.

    Congratulations Mati and thank you for these inspiring words!

    One day I will tell my story in full. But for now: Trust your instincts. Know your worth. Be brave enough to forge your own lane if it does not exist. Choose your mentors wisely. And above all, do not be afraid to step into your purpose, because it’s absolutely beautiful here

    A teacher once told me childhood treats are more than food. They are the love your mother gave you as a child. He must’ve been thinking about my mother’s homemade fruit cake which she just surprised me with. One of the many gifts and memories she has given me over the years.
