new-year party shallow-person
Deep breaths are very helpful at shallow parties.
jobs women feelings
To feel valued, to know, even if only once in a while, that you can do a job well is an absolutely marvelous feeling.
children sleep self
Wait for those unguarded moments. Relax the mood and, like the child dropping off to sleep, the subject often reveals his truest self.

competition conversation
A conversation isn't a competition.
oysters found used
Celebrities used to be found in clusters, like oysters - and with much the same defensive mechanisms.
fire hug president
Mr. President, Mrs. Obama. There is a photograph of you [hugging] that went viral, became the most shared photograph in the history of Twitter. How do you keep the fire going?
