I Am Writing 
 Spring 2020\nEveryone has been affected by the pandemic. It’s been an opportunity for a world­wide reset. The questions that burn in my mind are these: If we are forced to live differently, can we be inspired to think differently? Is this when Zoom conferencing and workout streaming become the norm? Is this when we recognize what we do and don’t need? Is this when we go back to pioneering a healthier way of life? Imag­ine if we didn’t travel so much. I can’t begin to tell you how often I have to travel for meetings around the world. I love seeing the world, but flying can be stressful and is bad for the earth. I would be willing to give that up for a better, cleaner world. What if we only flew when absolutely necessary? What if we considered more than just our job or our vacation before we booked that next trip? I am self-taught, and the two ways I’ve learned are by reading and traveling—the two things that have made me who I am. (I think my endgame in life is to work at a travel magazine . . .) But we can all be more conscientious in our choices. Please don’t get mad at me for 
 suggesting “less of everything”: less move­ment, less stress. We are literally being forced to be still right now. Forced to stay at home. None of us could have predicted we would see this in our lifetime. And yet, I can see the future. A brighter future that exists for our kids—whether they’re our own kids or not. 
 I’ve always been the kind of person who hates soapboxes, and I don’t mean to be up on one now. Growing up in Hollywood, I felt the sting when listening to privileged people talk about others’ needs, and I especially hated it if they used their platform to take oth­ers down. I march in the army of optimism, and I’ve always refused to condescend or speak out negatively. There have been so many humans who have used their voices around the world to change it for the better. Maybe it’s their tone? Maybe if it feels inspiring and personal instead of righteous? Is that the secret sauce for hu­mans from anywhere and everywhere daring to speak up? After all, it’s always been humans who have inspired us. Therefore, everyone has the potential to be someone who will change the world in big and small ways.
