I've been mulling over a post about the new retail paradigm, how it's all changing.
Then I wanted to write about my experience at the Writers Lab, which was amazing. For real. Life changing in how I see my own work.
But right now I'm stunned, awed, hopeful and anxious over, as Lynda Obst perfectly put it, "a volcanic outrage that has erupted over the charred ground of the (Hollywood/Weinstein) business this week ... A long-suppressed fury has spread throughout the land."
From women joining the conversation with an effective 'Me, too" post on FB or Twitter, to the onslaught of words about it, it's exhilarating to see that fury.
And the unity. That's what the Writers Lab showed me, the power of unity.
Even if the outrage doesn't last - the headlines will be replaced in time - sexual assault and harassment has come out of the dark in a way that it can never go back in. May the effects of now crack foundations everywhere.

Unfortunately, this has been a problem since the beginning of mankind, and even more unfortunately, it will continue when the current Weinstein volcano blows over. It's so sad that this occurs, and I'm embarrassed as a man that ANY woman must endure this. Unity is everything: all women MUST keep this on the forefront, and never let it recede again.
