Hello Reader, I hope you're having a great week so far. It’s the first week of October, and I have to admit, I’ve been decorating for Halloween all week.

I like to look at pretty things that make me feel happy and magical. I might have gotten a little carried away, but fall is my favorite time of year. I...

Hello Reader, I believe there is always a message in everything if we are willing to look for it. I love all animals, but I have a special fondness for winged ones, the feathered kind and the big metal birds that serve as our offices in the sky. This week I spotted a black eagle, only the second I’ve ever seen. It was massive and unforgettable, a reminder that even when life feels heavy, there is beauty in the lessons we carry forward. For those of you navigating interviews right now,...

Hello Reader, Today, we pause to honor the memory of September 11, 2001. The courage of flight crews on that day continues to inspire many of us in this career, and their legacy, which we carry forward.

Hello Reader, I hope you are having a great week! This is our last week of summer, and the kids are getting ready to head back to school on Monday. I can hardly believe that I have a senior and a sophomore in high school. I never want my kids to leave the nest; I would be happy if they lived at home for the rest of their lives. I know it’s wishful thinking, though, as all baby birds eventually learn to fly on their own. As we wrap up the summer of self-care, I have fully embraced this vital...
