The universe has good news for the lost, lonely and heartsick.
The sugars are here speaking straight into your ears.
I'm Steve Almond.
I'm Cheryl strayed.
This is dear sugars.
Oh, dear so won't you please share some little sweetness with me?
I check my bell rides every day oh, and the sugar you see in my way.
Hi, Cheryl.
Hi, Steve.
So we are going to talk about rage.
Rage.
I think of you, Cheryl, as a very positive and upbeat person.
But I am.
I do.
I do.
So my question is, are there moments where that has not been the case, where you have been out of control, angry?
It depends what you mean by out of control.
I do sometimes lose it.
And I'll tell you this, I didn't ever really have to consciously think about my anger and how I expressed my anger until I became a mother and was every day confronted with some outrage that puts me in touch with my rage.
