Because of my obvious love of the city, I often get asked, “why don’t you move to New York?” Honey, I spent many a night this summer, lying in bed wondering what my destiny was. Should I just sell everything, pack up my clothes and move to a place that

I’ve been home one week tonight. I’m struggling to remember New York and my life there. It feels like I’ve awakened from a dream that never really happened. One week ago I remember getting off the plane brimming with excitement, with confidence. I was refreshed, ready to conquer the world.
It was September 11, 2001. Four of us advertising gals were in Playa del Carmen, in Mexico, celebrating our friend’s 50th birthday when the terrorists attacked. I’ll never forget that morning. The early riser, I slipped into my clothes and quietly tiptoed out of our little casita in search for
