Thank You

This week's blog is devoted to the fanciest thing of all--love.  I've been fortunate enough to have found the love of my life, and by this time next week I shall be a happily married man.  As many people who personally know me, this year has been an unconventional year of highs and lows, but my fiance, John, has been there to support and encourage me through everything.  But I also wouldn't be where I am intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually, without the extraordinary help of some very special friends with whom I've have had the honor to meet and be acquainted with.

Going forward in the next couple of weeks, there will be many great personal changes.  I'll be married of course, but I'll also be a year older, with hopefully a new job on the horizon.  I hope to refocus on my art, after getting settled into a new city.  Upon reflecting on this sometimes surreal moment of my life the constant really is the love from the people encouraging me to move forward.  It is time to move ahead.  Not that I believe in predestination, but something is indeed telling me to change things up and to press on.  This sadly does not mean staying in New York.  But I've learned a lot and really feel that I've discover some of New York's greatest assets.  And that's something I'll always treasure.

So from Fancy Things this week I'd like to give a big thank-you to the very special people who continue to believe in me.  Marrying John couldn't make me anymore happier, which makes me the luckiest.
