I took my dogs for a walk earlier. There's a new family across the street from us and they have a wee baby. When I reached home, Mama and daughter were on the couch by their front window, observing passers-by. We stopped & the little lass's eyes widened when she saw my doggos...

My own daughter.

I quit. A few days later I was offered a job at a well known Chicago paper, & in dire need of the generous salary it would provide. Same week, I was headhunted for a job in the Ad industry. In my wide-eyed hope of changing the world for the better via journalism after college 2/
