On this day, the 16th of September, 2005… I moved to NYC for a new life. I didn’t just move across the country, I intentionally wanted to let go of an identity of who I thought I was. At the time, I was a thirty-year old who dreamed of becoming a successful singer/songwriter who hid […]

Since I moved into a new apartment building at the beginning of the year, introducing myself to all my neighbors – this time around – didn’t feel scary at all. In fact, there’s only four apartments in our entire building — SCORE!! I’ll be done in twenty minutes. Tops.  I walked across the hall, knocked […]

She walks into class as if she’s going out on the town…always wearing that pink sequins hat (which I find out is her secret conversation starter), a tiny scarf around her neck, […]

It’s called, DAYBREAKER and they have morning dance parties at various clubs/venues in various cities from the morning hours of 7-9am. The first hour […]
