Letter to the Editor: Have you ever thought about what your “why” is? Whether it’s in your career path, an organization you work or volunteer for or your personal life. What is your why?

After months of having to hear from my mother, my sister, my grandmother, and my husband how terrible my previous column photo was, I decided to change it. Not because I thought it was terrible, because honestly, who cares? My column picture isn't a beauty contest, and I'm 40. I hardly see why it makes a difference. However, I just got sick of hearing how "old" I looked from all of them - thus, here's a quick photo from my porch featuring my seventeen-year-old hat that I originally purchased at the Minnesota Newspaper Association. This hat was a purchase made the very first time I attended the convention. Back then I was just a young, perhaps overly ambitious newspaper owner who was asked to speak, as a part of a panel, to a group of journalism students about the nittygritty of what living a life of journalism is like.

Very few short stories I read in school hang in my memory. My retention wasn’t always good—squirrel—I guess there were always too many distractions. However, reading Psalm 71 immediately brought a story back to me. A poem written by Earle Birney titled “David.” I remember it clearly because I had to memorize it for my speech competition, which is why I retained the storyline so clearly.
