I almost hesitate to promote this, because it wasn't really intended to be a piece. I just sort of sat down and it came out. Maybe someone else out there has the same type of day today, and it'll speak to them.

After three wonderful years, my job at The Christian Science Monitor was eliminated as part of a newsroom restructure. My final story — about a cat sanctuary in Hawaii — published this week.
A purrfect ending.
