I love high heels. For work. However, out on cobblestone streets or potholed New York City streets, high heels are a bit impractical. I laugh a little bit when I see women wobbling in 5-inch heels on the Brooklyn Pier. Why do people subject themselves to that? I […]
I am truly hoping that I will get some sleep tonight. Actually, a lot of sleep. For me, that’s six hours. I would be ecstatic at seven hours but will happily take six. Sigh. I had one of those days where I did not have downtime. I woke […]
What do you enjoy most about writing? Writing is an outlet. It’s my friend. It’s my pal. It’s my confidant. It’s my confidence builder. Words can be true and can serve as escapism. Words can enlighten. They can obscure. Writing provided comfort to my mother. She wrote poems […]
