Shhhh. Listen deeply. Listen earnestly. Sometimes words that define the strongest emotions are quiet words. Children love to hear quiet words said quietly. Whisper silent. Whisper solemn.

Darn Stomach Flu! This past week was Fashion Week in New York City. Having worked in the fashion industry, it’s never been that big of a deal. I guess my favorite part was going to the Donna Karan and DKNY shows and enjoying the “show” that showed up to nod or poo-poo the new collection. [...]
