~ Joan Didion, The Year of Magical Thinking

When I walked out the door every morning to leave for school, I always assumed that when I came back everything would be the same as when I woke up that morning. Now I know, regrettably, that life doesn't work that way. Everything might be indescribably perfect one day, then the next, everything else could fall apart. It's almost as if life can just stop right in the midst of a fairytale, and the only option you have is to start all over from the very beginning in an entirely different life.

On December 13th, 2006 the most essential man in my life-my best friend-my role-model-my daddy... died. For seventeen years, things were great-they were beyond great. Sure, there were a few speed bumps in the road here and there, but none that blew out the tire completely. Don't get me wrong, I am more than appreciative for all of those fortunate years I was able to experience living in utter contentment and bliss. However, it doesn't change the fact that the fairy tale I once knew no longer exists.

Now is the first time I have ever truly felt that life has actually stopped. And yet, it hasn't.

That phone call from my mom; the sound of her voice, the way I could hear my heart beating and ringing in my ears, the way my heart fell into the core of my stomach... the news I heard that day was the one thing I had always dreaded hearing for as long as I could remember. But dread does not keep it from happening.

There was a gap of time, a clarity I will always remember, a stillness between delivery and comprehension. It's not reality. It's not a dream. It's not even a nightmare because within the sensation of emptiness, something keeps going. It is a pulse in the middle of white. I could reach out and touch the person in front of me. I could feel the phone in my hand. I even sensed the heft of the tears in my eyes waiting to burst, yet the next part, whatever that is, couldn't happen. Time had stopped, yet I was moving and breathing. Time had stopped and yet I hadn't. Something huge has ended and yet it had not ended me.

He wasn't just a "dad." He was the dad. He went above and beyond his "father curriculum" and taught me far more than I ever dreamed of learning. And the amazing part was, he never had to teach me by actually telling me. All I had to do was watch this amazing person - my dad - do what he did, which was love. He loved everyone around him. Even the people he really didn't "love," he still loved. That might sound like a contradiction, but he would find some way to look past the negativity, whatever that negativity was, and he'd find a way to turn it around. He was one of the few people who truly practiced what he preached.

He didn't just get lucky and score big on his books from a few wise words that he randomly came up with one day. He actually truthfully knew how to make people establish peace and even bliss in their lives. What an amazing quality to have - he had the capability of changing someone's entire life through his words... Not just someone's life, millions of lives.

Such a man can be said to wield a lot of influence, yet you would never have known it if you knew my dad. My dad had a genuine humility and energy that was so contagious, you could feel it the second you came into contact with him. His energy was vibrant, yet calm at the same time. His laugh was infectious, his smile gentle. He was clearly exhilarated by the experience of being alive and had the power to infect others with his passion.

Yet, for all his fame and influence, my father taught me the power of words, teaching, and love - not the power of power. This is what I carry with me on my journey to college. This is what I keep in mind when school or even just the little mundane things seem utterly inconsequential. Words matter. Ideas and love are the vehicles toward being the best we can be as a species in this beautiful miracle of an opportunity to live in this world.

Sometimes, when I start to cry hard, I like to sit in my dad's closet, or go into his office. I like to be somewhere that reminds me of him because it makes me feel he is closer. Death seems so far away, an unimaginable distance. When I was in his office last, I found myself surrounded by and in complete awe of the number of books he has written over the years.

Until that moment, I had never taken the time to realize how amazing it is that he wrote all those books. As I sat alone and let myself cry and miss him, I started to pick up each book and examined it closely. I opened each book up a few times to various random pages and skimmed the words on each page. After I finished, I noticed that on each page of each book, no matter what page I turned to, the words written were astoundingly beautiful. Each word brought me a sense of peace, comfort and even contentment.

The wisdom in his words is hard to describe. My daddy had this amazing unique way of communicating the concepts of happiness to people, some very abstract ideas, presenting them very simply through his words through his voice. Everything he says just flows so beautifully, gracefully and calmly.

It's strange because all these years, I never knew what all the fuss was about? So many people would constantly come up to me and comment about how my dad "changed their life" or how "brilliant" he is or what an "amazing writer" he is. I never understood what they meant and at times I even found it a bit annoying. I mean, he was just daddy to me. It was hard to see him as others did. Now, I can see it.

My understanding of the importance of ideas and words and their link will buoy my survival during this period and my journey into college to the importance of teaching and learning - these are the essentials to a life well lived.

Reading and writing are not just a means to a grade, they are the means to zap a connection between two or hundreds or even millions of people.

I will never look back and say "I wish I did that differently" or "I wish I spent more time with him," or ever experience any sense of regret, because my dad and I lived our relationship to the absolute fullest. Whether it was some intense, political conversation we engaged in, or a light-hearted laugh, I treasure every memory I have with him because despite what we were doing, or what we were talking about, it was with him and that alone means it was quality time spent. This too, this sense of deep engagement with those around me about matters of substance as well as just the day-to-day, I intend to take with me to college.

This brings me to the question of self-pity. I think Joan Didion's words are profound. In a single sentence, "the question of self-pity," she sums up what the entire human experience can be hinged upon. I know because I wrestle with it daily. Put your guard up too much, then you're not getting the full experience of life. Indulge it too much, then you risk falling into the void and never coming back.

It's weird because a lot of people my age don't know how to handle something like this. They feel sorry for me and I hate being pitied. I hate the feeling of everyone looking at me waiting for something to crack. I can sincerely say that my dad's death has by far been the hardest, most tragic occurrence of my entire life. All the things I once thought were such a "big deal" no longer come even close in comparison.

This, again, brings me to "the question of self-pity." Even more so than "to be, or not to be," the answer to the question of self-pity can lead to something even worse than "not being." To over-indulge the desire for self-pity can throw a person into the dark abyss leading to a life of numbness. To hide from the pain and over-protect is also to lead a life of waste. To truly live means to face down the question of self-pity.

I certainly don't have the answer; I just know that it is important to anticipate the question. I know that the question will come back again and again as a part of being alive. I don't have any pithy profound nuggets of wisdom to offer yet, maybe I never will. I do know that I will get through this, that much I can feel from deep within. More significantly, I have learned that if I can get through this, I can get through anything. I also know that I am in the process of becoming truly fearless. It's almost as if you can't live fully until you've experienced a significant amount of pain or suffering.

I have learned that when it feels as if everything has stopped and yet I haven't that means I'm moving, even when it seems almost in spite of myself. If I'm moving, then I'm living, and if I'm living, then I'm going to make the most out of it. I can either stop living, give up and spend the rest of my life missing and wanting my daddy back. Or, I can do what I know my dad would want for me more than anything and that is to continue living my life in the most rich, fulfilled, passionate and remarkable way possible.

Richard Carlson passed away at the age of 45 on his way to San Francisco.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
AP/Contra Costa Times/Bob Larson

Richard Carlson, author of the best-selling "Don't Sweat the Small Stuff," has died at age 45.

Carlson died Wednesday after falling ill while on his way to New York as part of a tour to promote his new book, "Don't Get Scrooged," said Julie Mitchell, spokeswoman for HarperSanFrancisco, Carlson's publisher.

A psychologist, Carlson advocated tackling life with good humor, positive thinking and perspective.

"I know how much his books meant to people, how much people loved him," said Michael Barnard, owner of Danville's Rakestraw Books, which carried Carlson's books.

Born and raised in the east San Francisco Bay area, Carlson got a bachelor's degree from Pepperdine University and a doctorate in psychology from Sierra University.

His book, "Don't Sweat the Small Stuff," was on best-seller lists for two years. He would go on to write 20 books in all, including "Don't Sweat the Small Stuff in Love," co-written with Kris Carlson, his wife of 25 years. His latest book, "Don't Get Scrooged," was on how to handle holiday stress.

Survivors include his wife and their two teenage daughters, Jasmine and Kenna; two sisters, Kathleen Carlson Mowris of Olympic Village and Anna Carlson of La Selva Beach; and his parents, Barbara and Don Carlson of Orinda.

A private memorial service is planned next week. The family is requesting that in lieu of flowers, memorial donations be made to local food banks, Challenge Day, Girls Inc. or Children Inc.

Stephanie Perkins Talks THERE'S SOMEONE INSIDE YOUR HOUSE At BookCon 2017

Netflix is partnering up with other producers and actors to make There's Someone Inside Your House the movie.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
EXCLUSIVE: In what looks like a combination to die for, Netflix, Stranger Things producer 21 Laps and horror maestro James Wan are teaming on the coming-of-age slasher movie There's Someone Inside Your House.

I understand the streaming giant beat out multiple studios to the red-hot pitch based on YA author Stephanie Perkins' NYT bestselling novel about a young girl whose high school friends inexplicably begin to die in a series of gruesome murders. This one is similar in tone to Netflix's Stranger Things: think 1980s and '90s slasher movie meets a John Hughes coming-of-age tale like The Breakfast Club.

Shawn Levy's 21 Laps and Wan's Atomic Monster are producing. Dan Cohen is also producing for the former and Michael Clear for the latter. Saw, The Conjuring and Furious 7 helmer Wan, currently in post on Aquaman, is not due to direct. The screenplay is coming from Henry Gayden ( Earth To Echo), who recently wrote DC's sci-fi pic Shazam! which is currently shooting.

Below is the synopsis of Perkins' novel, which is a great showcase for a strong and diverse young female lead. You can see why Netflix wanted it bad.

More than a year after her parents sent her away from Hawaii to live with her grandmother in landlocked Nebraska, Makani Young is still adjusting to her new life. She's made a small group of close friends and even flirted with romance, but her past in Hawaii is still hard to forget. And then ... one by one the students of her new high school begin to die in a series of gruesome murders. Makani doesn't know who's next on the list. Between this, and a secret scorching relationship with the school weirdo, this school year may turn out to be one to die for ... literally.

Netflix and Arrival producer 21 Laps are currently gearing up for Stranger Things' Season 3. Levy's production outfit has three films slated for a 2018 release: Kodachrome, also with Netflix; The Darkest Minds with Fox; and Kin with Lionsgate. Next up for Atomic Monster is The Nun, the next installment in the Conjuring universe scheduled for a September 7, 2018 release. Warner Bros' Aquaman is set for December 2018.

Gayden is repped by UTA, Kaplan Perrone & Dan Fox at Hanson, Jacobson. Levy is repped by WME & Ziffren Brittenham. Wan is repped by Paradigm, Stacey Testro International, and attorney David Fox. Perkins is repped by Paradigm on behalf of Kate Testerman of KT Literary.

John Boyne is teaching students at Terenure College, his old school that he went to as a college student.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The ongoing crisis of Catholicism in Ireland has produced a substantial body of academic, documentary and fictional work. Books, television programmes, films and plays about the abuse of children and others by members of religious communities have attempted to expose, condemn or simply comprehend this criminal betrayal of trust. John Boyne's A History of Loneliness, the latest entry in the field, is "dedicated to all these victims; may they have happier times ahead".

Boyne is best known as the author of The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, his Holocaust novel, which was made into a successful film. He is a prolific, feted and popular writer, with books translated into an astounding 47 languages. The History of Loneliness is atypical of these, in that it is his first book set in Ireland.

Often Boyne's writing centres on a well-known historical event or a period that is intriguing to readers: St Petersburg in the last days of the tsar, the London society of the prince of Wales and Mrs Simpson or, as in The Thief of Time, one of his earliest books, a number of well-known historical events relayed through time travel. Within these parameters he builds a fiction that is highly engaging.

The History of Loneliness tells the story from the perspective of Fr Odran Yates, who, although never guilty of abusive behaviour, did not speak out about abuse of which he was aware.

Yates is an entirely passive man, and his reticence in this regard is, importantly, of a piece with his personality and his personal history. We learn that his depressive father drowned himself and his son (Yates's four-year-old brother) as a final vindictive act in a ruinous marriage. Yates's mother, now dead, turned to religion maniacally after the tragedy.

His surviving family consists of a widowed sister with dementia and two nephews, one estranged and living abroad, the other a prominent writer and gay.

Obviously Boyne has his finger on an array of Irish social issues. There is also an autobiographical element, as Fr Yates has been teaching at Terenure College, Boyne's old school, for 27 years.

Yates's best friend from seminary days, Fr Tom Cardle, was an abused boy who became an abuser. He is being moved from parish to parish, and Yates doesn't know why.

Chapters are not chronological but designated by year, ranging from 1964 to 2013. The narrative weaves among formative incidents in Yates's life, allowing the writer to divulge the story's secrets piecemeal and thereby retaining a degree of suspense. The flashback format also complicates our understanding of Yates's degree of awareness, but the device can become coy. Yates as narrator alludes too often and ominously to his fall from grace in Rome in 1978, at the time of the mysterious death of Pope John Paul I.

The novel gains in complexity by presenting a nuanced, and at times very sympathetic, portrait of clerics and clerical life. Although some are recognisable types, few remain mere stereotypes.

The innocence of the times rings true, as does Boyne's portrayal of the seminarians as just a bunch of teenage boys in some respects. Similarly the power of authority - the hierarchy, teachers, parents, gardaí - is demonstrated both forcefully and subtly.

It is difficult in any age to convey the dynamics of faith on the page, and the author's efforts here are powerful and arresting. The loneliness of the title is the collateral damage of that dynamic.

Attention to detail can waver at times. For such a seasoned writer Boyne relies too heavily on product placement - Calvita sandwiches, Player's cigarettes, box Brownies - to signal period rather than providing a full evocation of an era.

And, in a novel attempting an honest exploration of a grave subject, there are some dubious excesses. On a crowded train from Dublin to Galway Yates is offered a seat, in turn, by an officious matron who insists she will hold her son on her lap, an obsequious man old enough to be his grandfather and a heavily pregnant woman - all in ardent competition with each other.

Readers do know about the exaggerated deference paid to clergy in the past; one such character would have done to remind us and to illustrate the young priest's unease.

When Yates admits that his vocation may result from an epiphany his mother experienced while watching The Late Late Show, or when the pope (a great fan of The Quiet Man) breaks into a rendition of The Wild Colonial Boy, we might wonder why we've ventured so far into Father Ted territory in a book that sets out to cover very different ground.

Much more sensitively handled is a scene where Fr Yates tries to reunite a crying five-year-old with his mother on Wicklow Street and finds himself in Garda custody being treated like, and called, a paedophile.

Sean O'Casey is invoked often in this book because of a slender connection to the Yates family. The master of tragicomedy may be the author's model here, but the subtleties of the form prove difficult to balance.

The History of Loneliness is a troubling book about a continuingly difficult and disturbing subject. Readers of Boyne's fiction who have followed him around the world now have a chance to see how he has applied his skills to a subject very close to home.
