In 2019, I went through a lot of changes, the biggest being my move back to NYC in April! With that, I definitely didn’t read as much with getting acclimated back to NYC and balancing all the amazing opportunities such as author talks, pop up events and exhibits all vying for my time and re-launching my website! With all that, I managed to read 17 books, attended some of the author events and also worked to follow along with some of the virtual book clubs like Diverse Spines & Very Smart Bros. The thread I noticed with all these selections was a sense of connection to ppl, places and things such as purpose or career. Lots of learning, reminiscing, perspective and hope filled me from all these authors and pages !
