ABSTRACT
I told my 9-year-old daughter I was trying to write something about why I do the work I do now. I was struggling to find a way to begin. She thought for a minute and said, “You wanted things to change.” I looked at her and smiled. Encouraged, she continued, “You wanted people to feel better.” And, unsolicited, “You seem happier.” As I took a few notes, she told me I needed to make sure she was adequately cited. Her observations are accurate, thoughtful, and deeply appreciated.
