I can't believe it actually worked. I'm soooo happy!

This is how I feel after this week. Like Winnie. Nose and paws up on the couch together, eyes at half-mast.

Great piece. Fabulous movie. And I never really thought about her relationship with Mel. So, so well done. The scene with her donating her skis to the Pismo beach disaster fund…

Great advice. I did this with my 10 year old. I’ll never forget it.

I’m seeing a lot of blaming out there. Per Brene Brown, blame is simply the discharging of pain or discomfort. It is a non-adaptive, useless affect. When will our leaders lead with accountability rather than passing out blame because they are uncomfortable with the consequences of their own shit?

Many good answers, but the tragedy in his song Waiting haunts me every time I hear it.

There ain't no point in moving on
'Till you've got somewhere to go
And the road that I have walked upon
Well it filled my pockets
And emptied out my soul

This match is…not good. Last 8 or 10 points all ended in errors. Yes, it’s a big occasion. But I’m surprised by Sabalenka’s level. Tis low.

Is she now telling Conchita to go? Seems like there is no one left.

Incredible. How about the announcer's tidbit that she changed her forehand after the shoulder surgery? Just remarkable, the circumstances here.

Absolutely bananas. Yes, Andreeva got nervous under pressure, and the crowd is a huge factor, but I cannot believe Boisson's nerves are holding.

Jess' level dropped for sure, but man, you have to give it Boisson. Debut major. French. Chatrier. Playing her heart out, seemingly nerveless. She may lose but boy, it's impressive.

Copied this wrong, I think. But Watership Down, for sure. And Carrie. Oof. As a young closeted catholic boy, it was terrifying.

Feeling this very much today:

Just making the next right choice.

This is incredible. So much emotion. So good.

Gutsy win by Coco Gauff, but either Qinwen is extremely stubborn or she just endured a major coaching failure directing so many balls to the Gauff backhand. Remarkable.

Of course. I need to remind myself of it sometimes.

It’s happened to me with any big changes I have made for my own physical or mental health. You find out who really supports you versus who is just along for the ride.

People who get upset with you for setting boundaries are the same people who were benefitting from you having none.

Courtney, thank you for hard work and great reporting. I will so miss you being on the beat. I’m sure whatever your next gig is, you will kill it. Just keep doing what you love…
