I wanted to share a wonderful speech by my friend Maria Shriver from her daughter's graduation from my alma mater, USC. There is wonderful wisdom in her words. She is right that all too often in our own lives we are not living in the moment, always for something tomorrow, next week or next year.

Based on the last few weeks in Washington, it seems that this couple (or ex-couple) has some insight into focusing on the job at hand and managing partisan politics that we all could stand to learn from.
In every corner of the country -- California, Massachusetts, Florida -- spousal support is in the news. These last two weeks have been a crash course ...
