Leigh, I love this magical moment that reminds me that in everything we do we are nothing but humans in bodies. "But there is one story that I am most often remembered for. It was about getting stung in the left boob by a scorpion while I was prepping for my sons’ birthday party. It featured the (in)famous line 'I continued making three flavors of buttercream frosting like some one-handed tit juggler.'"

Ames, I love the fierce devotion and observance of the sacred in this piece: "I was blown away by the folks who told me that they laughed and cried and saw themselves in my story. I didn’t know my words could do that. That revolutionized the way I thought about storytelling. It will be an important part of my life until the end."
