After graduating from college, I longed to do something creative.
I had been the editor of my high school newspaper and had majored in journalism in college, yet I found the network news difficult to watch, as it was so often filled with sensational or tragic content. Rather than focus on the negative, I wanted to create television programs that were constructive and solution-oriented.
A passage in the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, guided my next steps: “Love inspires, illumines, designates, and leads the way. Right motives give pinions to thought, and strength and freedom to speech and action” (p. 454).
