Sometimes Dreams Do Come True, and They Did, in The New York Times of All Places!

It's funny how life works. You go along, feeling lucky enough to have a talent, and to be able to do what you enjoy for a living, and you think that's enough. I love my writing, and feel privileged to have enjoyed the flexibility of working as a freelancer all these years. Then that one day comes along that you never imagined...like something from a fairy tale, and your life changes forever. I had that opportunity this Memorial Day weekend, when I was featured, in all my glory, on the front cover of The New York Times real estate section.

A client of mine found my story interesting - so interesting he said he wanted to pitch it to the paper's editor. I smiled and thanked him, feeling flattered that he felt that way, but thinking inside, oh come on now! Well, a month later I got the call, from a reporter who said the whole department found my story fascinating. Me, yes me. From there it's been a dream, and a whirlwind. I hope you enjoy my story as much as they did. I am still flying high, and still pinching myself.
