Today is the 13th anniversary of my landing in NYC for the first time. I chose the moon landing anniversary as a metaphor to boldly try something new, unexplored, and out of my comfort zone. I did fly First Class though, I wanted to arrive in style!

I love New York more than anything, even when she gets me down and I take a break, I still look forward to coming back. New York is my home and it will be for years to come.

I think about how much it has changed me, and yet how much I have felt like I've always belonged here.

Thank you for welcoming me and taking good care of me New York, New York.
