My grandmother doesn’t talk about the bomb. Whenever I ask, she claims she doesn’t know what happened to her family, though I suspect she simply doesn’t want to think about it. She was 20 years old and living in Honolulu on the morning of Aug. 6, 1945, when the United States dropped a nuclear weapon on Hiroshima. It detonated directly over the neighborhood where her family — including her grandmother, aunts, uncles and cousins — lived. When I think of that day, I imagine our family gathering around a table for breakfast and ending up in the wind.

Naveron Lesch gave up working on traditional fishing boats to work as shark spotter in South Africa. If we sight a shark, we'll radio the spotter down on the beach and, if necessary, set off the shark siren to clear the water. If it's my day for a double shift, I'll move down to the beach and relieve the beach spotter. So you have to know shark behavior and decide how close the shark is going to get to the people in the water. The biggest shark I've seen was at Muizenberg Beach about five years ago, when I had trainees spotting with me.

As each new year emerges, I reflect on the year before and beat myself up about what didn’t work out. That someone might be a younger version of you, begging for a chance to share their insight.

I’ve been held hostage by self-loathing and perfectionism in recent years, but thanks to my inner tween, next year’s resolutions are all about liberation.
