We need to stop and look back to 57 years ago today.

In Dallas, fifty-seven years ago today, our Nation was reeling from the shock of John Kennedy’s assassination. It was an event that rocked the world; everyone my age remembers where they heard the initial news reports and what they were doing at the time.

What amazes me today is that there’s no mention of the event in at least three major newspapers that I read each day. Not a single line or article appeared reminding us of our Nation’s loss.

Every media outlet around the world carried endless reports of what took place in excruciating detail. I have copies of magazines and newspapers from the day; they are vivid reminders of what happened more than a half-century earlier.

We are indeed going through a political battle of epic proportions at this moment in time, yet, for a moment, it would be nice to pause and remember something equally epic. We all came through that period intact, and hopefully, we’ll enter 2021 ready for change and new opportunities.

I’m ready.

I’m a dreamer at heart, proudly born and raised in San Francisco—a city that covers just 49 square miles but was heaven on earth for me. Every corner of The City (as we natives affectionately call it) has been a part of my life. No area ever felt too distant. With wide eyes and an open heart, I’ve always welcomed the world around me. I find joy in creativity, wonder, and discovering new possibilities—whether that’s through international work adventures or dreaming up the next exciting idea. Even though San Francisco was my hometown, my passport has taken me to many amazing places and introduced me to wonderful people, shaping me in countless ways. I carry pieces of these experiences and friendships with me wherever I go. Above all, I treasure my family, friends, and those small, meaningful moments that keep my spirit alive and thriving. I never want my curiosity to fade away.
