20 Things I Realize Now That I’m About To Turn 40
A major milestone birthday is right around the corner for me. I often hear others ask, "How did I get here?" I know exactly how I got here. I made decisions! Some great (like moving to NYC on a whim); Some downright awful (will protect the innocent and not mention these - it's a LONG [Read More]
