1/16 One year ago I started a new beat at the @latimes. It was not a traditional religion beat. Instead, we called it “Faith, Spirituality and Joy.” It was an exciting container for story ideas, but also, I was nervous. There was no prescribed path. https://t.co/NTo2Lhzyfc
If you're in Los Angeles and in an intergenerational friendship (20-year age-gap or more) we would love to hear from you for a story in the L.A. Times. Details in the link below! https://t.co/OjuBgtrAf7
"Our life is nothing but change and it is to this change that I bow deeply. I bow to this change, I bow deeply to life itself." Beautiful quote from the late Buddhist teacher Ruth Denison.

I couldn't fit everything in the story, but I hope I was able to at least pique your interest in labyrinths! Please read and share. And those beautiful photos are by @francineorr - my reporting partner every STEP of the way. THANK YOU! https://t.co/Jh0k6XxOjA

Hi Twitterfolk! I'm interested in speaking to folks who work (or previously worked) for a mental health mobile crisis service in California. Please reach out via DM or email if you'd like to chat, even informally -- thanks!
I had the honor of profiling Iran's first ever female Naqqal - an epic story teller who brings stories of the Shahnameh (Book of Kings) to life. Her name is Gordafarid, and her story is an epic in itself! Truly, the most remarkable people live in LA. https://t.co/919ib6Bien

For 3 years the indefatigable @LATkarenkaplan has edited and then written the @latimes' staggeringly comprehensive and thorough COVID-19 newsletter. Today she laid it to rest. Truly the end of an era. https://t.co/ClniVgw9U9
