Paul had no reason to know that he was a guiding force in my life. The good he has spread across the world can never be rolled back. He showed me the power of hope that transforms necessity into courage. He reminded me there is no such thing as giving too much, or even enough.

One of our top objectives at @NCOSE. If there were no sex buyers, there would be no demand for prostituted and sex trafficked persons. I'm determined to flip the script and make sure solutions focus on the MEN who drive almost all of the harm.

Including women in conversations about Afghanistan’s future is complicated, physically risky, and culturally fraught — and it’s essential, write @SwaneeHunt and @FroghWazhma. trib.al/tQwmaLA

With @SamanthaJPower look what I just found in my drafts! In time to say how fortunate your kids are to have you for a mom! Mothering and mission can coexist. I'll keep nudging them to remember. @LindaT_G @AmbassadorRice Diplomats unite!

My daughter Lillian had groceries delivered at my doorstep yesterday. I'm I was probably the only woman in the country to burst into tears when she pulled out of a plastic bag a glass jar of huge kosher dill pickles and dark seedy mustard, my (deceased) mom's favorites.

For a long time, journalists wouldn't call a lie "a lie" says @DanRather. On a radio program, following each other, four years ago, I heard him say our democracy is at stake, I was stunned at his hyperbole. Turned out he was right. I couldn't face the truth.
