One of the most memorable experiences of my life was during the summer of 1999 when I studied at Cambridge University. While reading about the Early Romantics and pondering Western Moral Philosophy during the week, the weekends gave me the opportunity to play and explore.
Excursions to Scotland with newly made friends from Michigan... visits to beautiful estates and Shakespeare's birthplace... a production of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" and "Twelfth Night"... and a tour around London with friends with whom I had some of the best Indian food ever!
Somehow, the taste of basmati rice, chicken tandoori, or deliciously fried samosas like the ones from All India Cafe brings me back to those summer days and my friends who, today, are out conquering the world as MDs, Harvard graduates, and trailblazers who work on issues of domestic violence and peace.
Above is one of them who has been around the world and back. She is a strong woman who continually inspires me in all that she does and all that she is. For the new year, she created a beautiful photo newsletter to friends with a message I try to keep close to my heart:
"Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh uncontrollably. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Do what you love. Smile. Sing. Dance. LOVE." - NY
With MS by my side, he makes it so easy to do.
