Good morning, Colorado. In college, I had a professor who used to start every class by instructing all of us students to take a deep breath and then “blow out all the bullshit.” It’s something I still practice to this day.

Good morning, Sunriser readers! Earlier this week I spoke with a dancer who knows the exact moment she decided to become a ballerina. She was just a few years old, sitting in her living room in a tiny Montana town, watching a performance of “Romeo and Juliet” on PBS.

Good morning, Colorado. I finally snagged tickets to see the Denver Art Museum’s Maurice Sendak exhibit last weekend – it was my second try, after tickets were sold out last time I visited. Besides getting lost in the wondrous illustrations of his classic 1963 children’s book, “Where the Wild Things Are,” I loved learning about Sendak’s many other works throughout his prolific 60-year career that inspired TV shows, operas and movies.
