And sometimes it happens to you.
If anyone would know that sometimes life just happens, it would be someone who works in the news business.
So much of what we do everyday is centered around life happening, as it is happening, and certainly as it's happening to someone else. Very rarely are we directly impacted by something devastating, heartbreaking, and disappointing. Although, sometimes it happens. Lately, it seems, in Las Vegas it happens more often than not.
When I started this blog it was part of an assignment for my graduate program at Boston University. I tried to stick with it as a living memoir to the news of the day and the process that unfolds to bring that information to the audience.
Since my most recent post, my relationship ended, I finished my Master's degree, and I started two other blogs to have a creative outlet. Nothing extraordinarly bad happened to me, but bad things do happen. The older I get and the more exposed I am to the crises of life, the more I see it.
My point is: Sure, we (journalists) can be objective. We can report the facts and leave it up to all of you to decide, but more often than not, when life happens there is a life lesson. Part of me believes it is our job to encourage common sense, common courtesy, and a sense of grace.
Life Lesson #1
Violence of any kind is just not cool. Stop it.
