Holiday Stepping Stones

Pieces
Much like the leaves at this time of year, there are pieces of me scattered all over the Big Apple. Central Park, Union Square, Park Avenue, Wall Street, Columbus Circle/Lincoln Center, South Street Seaport, Times Square, Alphabet City. And many…
Turning Over A New Leaf
One year ago, almost to the day, I had intended to start a blog with this post, but several things stopped me: fear, anxiety, loss of confidence, the chaos that comes from having kids and running a household. I’m still…
