a bittersweet farewell

I still can't believe I got to witness Jenifer Ringer's farewell performance yesterday. And I'm still processing hundreds of thoughts and emotions from the day, but the one thing I know for sure: it was a bittersweet adieu for the entire audience.

NYCBallet won't be the same without her beautiful artistry—that sentiment was felt universally.

africa in new york city

Brendan and I went to eat dinner downtown last night (at our fave taco place) and while we were waiting in the subway station I couldn't take my eyes off this: Africa. What some would see as an ugly mess of missing subways tiles was - to me - such a beautiful reminder of a wonderful time and place in my memory and heart. Take me back to those African sunsets, puuhlease.
