When my Lyft driver’s name popped up as “Noor,” I was pretty excited and a little surprised! I was aware that the name means “light” but had only known it as a girl’s name - and the driver was clearly a dude! Well, lesson number one.

Please see the special note at the end of this post. 

Don’t you love to see a master at work? YoYo Ma on cello? Tiger Woods swinging a club? Brené Brown explaining why we do the things we do? I love it! I’m moved by people who’ve invested years in their craft and now bring beauty, peace, and value to others.

Your phone pings: Uber is en route and your driver’s name is Farouk. You can react in one of three ways, I suppose. A. “Cool. Wonder where he’s from.” B. “Ah, geesh, another foreign Uber driver.” or C. “Sure hope Farouk keeps his car cleaner than that dope Doug who drove me to the airport last week!”
