I truly enjoyed this discussion with @simranjeetsingh.bsky.social, as we delve into why, at least when it comes to the study of human flourishing, science and religion can and should work together.

Navinder Singh Nijher, then a general surgery resident, was one of the first to serve victims at Ground Zero - but within 24 hours, was treated like one of the enemies.

I love the book and can't wait for every runner and aspiring runner to read it. Here's a link to order: becomingasustainablerunner.com
I admire her so much for that and for continuing to live into her values, including making hard decisions to forego opportunities to do what's right. Now, Tina has a new book on Becoming a Sustainable Runner that she's co-written with Zoe Rom.
My good friend Tina was a professional runner who represented Great Britain and Northern Ireland in a world championship. She courageously stepped away from that life to care for herself.

I've been writing for TIME for a few years now, and I'm thrilled to share that I'm now officially a TIME Contributor!
Gratitude doesn't happen by accident. We cultivate it through intention and practice.
I’m so grateful to Hena for her confidence in me and for the opportunity to write in this genre. It was so much fun. I’m excited to share the book when it comes out this spring, and I’m excited to write more stories for this age group.
Then, she shared the list of writers contributing to the volume — and that’s when I lost it. It’s a who’s who of South Asian writers, including Sayantani DasGupta, Reem Faruqi, Veera Hiranandani, Supriya Kelkar, Rajani LaRocca, Maulik Pancholy, Mitali Perkins, Aisha Saeed, and N.H. Senzai.
I was pleasantly surprised when Hena Khan invited me to write an essay for her new collection of short stories. She’s one of the premiere middle grade writers in the country.
I'll be in conversation with my friend and colleague, Sharon Groves, VP at Auburn. Together, we will hold space for what we have lost and explore how grief and loss evolve through ritual, community, and action. Register here: https://tinyurl.com/3wazvk6t
