Slow and Steady...

 ...wins the race as the saying goes.  Lord knows, if that's true, then I must be inches away from the finish line.  Slow and steady is about the best I can do right now.  These ladies - Andrea of Fly,  Tara Gentile, and Laura of Creative as Folk - reminded me that the best I can do is all I really need to do.  Stay tuned...

Love The One You're With.

Harlem Flor - a sweet flower shop at 123rd and Fred Douglas Blvd.

As I announced in a previous post, I live in New York City.  Harlem, to be exact.  Though I have several "I Love New York" t-shirts, I can't say that I actually do.  New York is crowded, dirty, smelly, expensive, stressful, etc, etc.  I have lived here with my hubs for twelve years altogether (we had a two-year stint in our nation's capital), and this place still doesn't feel like home. I was born in the Midwest and raised in the South.  I consider myself a southerner, and the mid-sized Georgia town where I grew up is my home.  However, New York City - Harlem - is where I live and, most importantly, create.  Since God, literally, smiled on us this past weekend, the hubs and I decided to take a walk around the neighborhood as we have done many times before.  This time, though, I took my camera.
