PERSONAL

Have you ever wandered into a supermarket looking for a few things and then realized you’ve left with a bag full of items you didn’t even know you were looking for? That’s sort of how I believe the best relationships work out. You walk in thinking you know what you want and then realize all the things you got that weren’t even on your list. For me, it’s that discovery that really hits the sweet spot of fun, playfulness and gratitude in a relationship. Although I couldn’t begin to summarize myself into an essay, I’ll give it a go since I love trying anything new, once in a while. I have spent a lot of time traveling the world and always come back with an appreciation for the best in others and for all we have access to here in NY. I'm glad to say I haven't lost that sense of wonder about the world and can handle a rainy day.  I spend a little too much time searching for the best cup of coffee in NY When life is stressful, I do the little things to make life easier – cook your favorite meal, pick up the dry-cleaning and bring a smile to your face. We really are that fun, easygoing couple because we are totally able to be ourselves and have each others’ backs. I have a particular fondness for picnics and look forward to doing more of that in the coming year as part of my New Year’s resolutions. Maybe you can join me...
