Pay attention to what you pay attention to. ~ Amy Krouse Rosenthal Anyone considering a career change might tire of people telling them, “Do what you love, and the rest will follow.” How can you be so sure? What counts as “love"? This is work we’re talking about! For anyone looking less for a passion project and more for what they’d be really good at, author Amy Krouse Rosenthal tweeted this advice in 2013. It’s deceptively Zen: If you watch your mind at work, you’ll start to notice patterns of thought, which will show you where your strengths are. It’ll also be good practice for when you do finally land that new gig, since good work does — always and necessarily — require focus and attention. Mary Live long and prosper

From: Sharon Pohlman The Masked Singer’ recap: Who won the Golden Mask trophy on ‘Lucky Season 13 Finale’? Denton Davidson Reality TV May 7, 2025 In the grand culmination of lucky Season 13, the final four battle it out for the Golden Mask trophy on The Masked Singer! Boogie Woogie, Coral, Mad Scientist Monster, and Pearl take the stage for the last time as panelists Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg, Ken Jeong, and Rita Ora make their final guesses for a chance to win their own Golden Ear trophy. Four mystery celebs will be unmasked, but only one can walk away a winner as Nick Cannon hosts "The Two-Hour Lucky Season 13 Finale" episode of The Masked Singer airing Wednesday, May 7 (8 p.m. ET/PT) on Fox. So far this season, 11 famous faces have been unmasked: Cedric the Entertainer as Honey Pot, Oscar De La Hoya as Fuzzy Peas, Aubrey O'Day as Ant, Scheana Shay as Bat, Flavor Flav as Space Ranger, James Van Der Beek as Griffin, Candace Cameron Bure as Cherry Blossom, Method Man as Stud Muffin, Erika Jayne as Yorkie, Matthew Lawrence as Paparazzo, and Edwin McCain as Nessy. Find out who the final four are by following our live blog below.Pearl Kicking things off is the show-stopping Pearl, who shares what making the finale means to the performer who always brings shine and sizzle to the stage: "Every time I put on this Pearl costume, I think it's so strange that I've pulled off being this bejeweled princess. It's so unlike me. I'd say the hoodie and sweatpants is more in line with who I am. What can I say? I'm gritty, raw, unapologetic. I've always been that way. A lot of times, especially when I was first starting out, it stood in the way of my success. I'll never forget this one time I was singing for a record exec, and I see out of the corner of my eye, him writing down 'N-O.' I was about to break into tears right then there, so I just closed my eyes, kept on going, and finished the audition. Turns out, what that note said was 'N-O-W.' Sign her now! What a difference one letter can make. Even after all these years, I think people still don't know what I'm capable of — until now! Being here, I've been able to come out of my shell and show my range. Tonight, I'm hoping to get another 'W.' It would mean the world to win that Golden Mask trophy." Pearl sang "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree" by KT Tunstall before receiving a surprise phone call from her daughter. Pearl responded, "That means the world. I'm so proud of my daughter. To hear her say that she's proud of me — I'm floored. I am crying." The panelists' then reviewed their guesses for the season including Shania Twain, Faith Hill, Kacey Musgraves, Madonna, Joan Jett, Pat Benatar, and Melissa Etheridge. Coral Next up is Coral, who shares what this journey has been like for her: "As a little girl, I had those Audrey Hepburn Breakfast at Tiffany's dreams. Staring at the old Hollywood movies from the other side — wishing one day to be just like the glamorous stars in them. My wish came true! I became a part of one of the biggest franchises of all time. Now there are little girls watching me! It's so surreal. But, I didn't want it to just stop there. For years I was trying to release my music — to be a pop star. But people weren't listening. They just thought of me as that girl from those movies. The Masked Singer is the perfect place to come when you've got something to prove. Here, I was given the opportunity to show that I am a triple threat. I've grown so much since I've started this. I've found my confidence, I've found my range, and I've even found that I can do it all in knee-high boots! Tonight, I'm dreaming about that trophy. Winning it would take me over the moon." Coral sang "Moon River" by Audrey Hepburn before receiving a surprise phone call from her dad. Coral responded, "It means so much. Coming on this show, I just wanted to be more confident in my singing and performing. My dad and mom are my biggest supporters." The panelists' then reviewed their guesses for the season including Rachel Zegler, Meg Donnelly, Sofia Carson, Dove Cameron, Hailee Steinfeld

Write relentlessly, until you find your voice. Then, use it. ~ David Sedaris David Sedaris wrote every day for 15 years before his first collection of stories and essays was published in 1994. Since then, he’s authored and collaborated on over a dozen books, every one of them full of hilarious insight. His distinct, observant satire dives deep into the ridiculous nuances of everyday life, often revealing surprising truths and heartbreaking vulnerability. No one tells a story quite like Sedaris, who insists that he would still be scribbling away even if he had never seen his words in print. Mary Live long and prosper

From: Sharon Pohlman Who do you have picked this season win? ‘The Voice’ Season 27 Episode 13 recap: Michael and John narrow their teams from 5 to 2 in ‘Playoffs Part 2’ John Benutty Reality TV May 5, 2025 The Voice Season 27 continued the "Playoffs" stage of the competition on Monday. In this round, each coach brings their team of five to the stage for a single performance that will determine which two move on the live shows. By the end of the round's 20 performances, only eight artists will remain in the competition. Mega Mentors Sheryl Crow and LeAnn Rimes assisted Team Michael Bublé and Team John Legend in the rehearsals leading up to the May 5 episode. On the April 28 "Playoffs Premiere" episode, Kelsea Ballerini moved forward with Alanna Lynise and Iris Herrera for the live shows. Adam Levine advanced Kolby Cordell and Lucia Flores-Wiseman as the representatives for his team. Team Bublé The five performances for Michael's team were Kaiya Hamilton singing "If You Love Somebody Set Them Free" by Sting, Angie Rey with "How Do I Live" by LeAnn, Jadyn Cree doing "99 Red Balloons" by Nena, Barry Jean Fontenot on "Until I Found You" by Stephen Sanchez, and Adam David performing "I Shall Be Released" by Bob Dylan. During rehearsals with Sheryl, they helped Kaiya rework the song away from the original version into more of her own style, urged Angie to get "out of your head" because it was noticeable and convinced her to do the chorus in Spanish, and thought Jadyn returned to the roots of 80s punk with her "unique" sound. Sheryl wanted Barry to approach the song with "tenderness and urgency" and helped Adam know how to confront stage fright. After seeing the final stage performances, the other coaches gave Michael advice to aid in his decision. Adam was "amazed" by Kaiya's rendition and gave her the "most improved player award" and Kelsea said she "ate and left no crumbs." John thought Angie achieved a song that requires "pipes," Adam liked Jadyn because she's "good old fashioned pop rock," Kelsea sees the confidence growth in Barry and how he "believes he's supposed to be here," and Adam admitted the coaches that didn't turn for him originally messed up.Michael challenged Kaiya with the song he gave her and commended her for being "brave" enough to take it on "flawlessly." He told Angie that he was happy to get to work with her for the first time and gave her best performance, Jadyn that she has an immediately recognizable voice and "star quality," Barry that he worked hard on everything they discussed in rehearsal about confidence, and Adam that he is truly an artist because he's "authentic." Based on those impressions, Michael decided to stick with Adam and Jadyn for the live shows Team Legend The five artists on Team Legend were Bryson Battle with "pov" by Ariana Grande, BD.ii on "All My Life" by K-Ci & JoJo, Olivia Kuper Harris performing "What Was I Made For?" by Billie Eilish, Ari Camille doing "Rain" by SWV, and Renzo singing "Too Sweet" by Hozier. Getting to see them at rehearsal, LeAnn thought Bryson was on the cusp of "understanding his range" and helped him open up his vocal more, wanted BD.ii to "project out" and then helped him "beef up" his falsetto, advised Olivia to be "vulnerable" in her physicality because it wasn't working when thy could see her acting, and wanted Ari to bring more sensuality and complimented her "raspiness." LeAnn liked how "hard" into rock Renzo was taking his song. Following the performances, Michael cracked a joke about wanting to steal Bryson and Adam called it "technically crazy." Kelsea noticed "the ease" that BD.ii performs with, Michael loved seeing Olivia "get into character" and thinks she can do anything, and her former coach Adam told Ari she sounded "amazing." Kelsea was interested by Renzo's fusing of rock and soul and projected him being a big star.John noted for Bryson the his "high notes were thrilling" and he is a "compelling" vocalist, commented on BD.ii's "pure, soulful voice that always sounds cool," was "thoroughly impressed" by the "stunning" performance from Olivi

Compassion is an unstable emotion. It needs to be translated into action, or it withers. Susan Sontag !n her 2013 essay collection “Regarding the Pain of Others,” author Susan Sontag reflected on the ways people respond to violent imagery. She made the argument that it isn’t the quantity of images that desensitizes us to the suffering of others, but our feelings of fear and helplessness that cause us to shut down and turn away. She suggested that compassion without action is not sustainable; it’s a self-serving emotion that “proclaims our innocence as well as our impotence.” By examining our privilege and the ways in which it may be linked to the suffering of others, we take the first step in effecting meaningful change.
