BEGIN

I was down south for the last couple of weeks on a photo shoot. Before that, I was able to sneak away for a long weekend in the Bahamas. I came home and feel happily overwhelmed with Christmas. Being in 85 degree weather and working weeks with no time off, I didn't feel festive until I got back to snowy NYC!

I feel festive now and I love it!

I am heading North next week for a few days in Canada so I didn't put my suitcase away. It has been a permanent fixture in my living room for the last couple of months. There is no point in putting away, when I will need it so soon.

Dexter turned 20 a couple of weeks ago! He is my true miracle kitty. I bought him some wheat grass today and he gnawed off a bunch of it and is now fast asleep on my bed. Last year at this time, his prognosis was not good. I am thrilled that he is doing so well and I shared another year with him.

It has been an incredible year for me. Many things that seemed far away in years past, are now a part of me. I am learning to balance everything and have found the groove I seemed to skip over in the past. There were many times that I thought things wouldn't groove, but I know now that everything has led me to where I am and who I am now
