Good morning, Sunriser readers!My email inbox is full of story ideas — PR pitches, studies, reports, announcements, news aggregators, other publications’ morning newsletters. While I do try to keep a tidy inbox (it could use a serious spring cleaning right now), the best ideas always come from talking to people in real life. I don’t know which law of nature mandates this, but it’s unequivocally true.

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. She can still feel the touch of the couch and the way her feet tingled, she told me. Now she’s one of the principal dancers at Colorado Ballet.

Good morning, Sun readers. The spring-green blades of daffodils poked through the old mulch in my front yard over the weekend, my favorite sign that warm days are ahead. It took us years, like 10, to remember to plant daffodil bulbs, and so for a long time, even though I was happy to see the tulips and daffodils blooming around the neighborhood, I was also annoyed that I had missed the boat another year.
