after the rain


 
With the need to escape the news for a while today what better place for reflection than the Pacific Spirit Park after the rain.

saying her name


 
There was no justice for Breonna Taylor today as I join so many others in saying her name and stand with them virtually as they face the batons.

“be an Adeline”


 
Today over 200,000 Americans have died of Covid-19. How heartbreaking that one of them was 28-year-old Dr. Dr. Adeline Fagan an Ob-Gyn resident in Houston Texas who died on September 19th. My thoughts are with her family, colleagues and friends as I send them my heartfelt condolences. I am also thinking of all my healthcare hero colleagues at this time, particularly our own surgical residents who I know must be as deeply saddened as I am today.
 
“Even in this darkest of times, there are good people willing to share a piece of themselves for the sake of another,” Adeline’s father Brant has written, and he encourages us all, “to be an Adeline.” I can assure him we will.

national dance day


 
Taking a moment away from the heartache and despair of each day’s news to celebrate National Dance Day with this collage of some of my favorite ballet dancers online who inspire us each day with the beauty of their art.

RIP RBG


 

Ruth Bader Ginsburg, born March 15, 1933 died today September 18th, 2020.

Fight for the things you care about, but do it in a way that will lead others to join you.” RBG

RIP RBG
