One of my most cherished moments of the day is my stroll home through Ft. Tryon Park after dropping my son off at school. It's my alone time and time for reflection. A grounding period where I can lay out my priorities for how to structure my non-working work days. If you've ever worked as a freelancer I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. This morning I was feeling especially glum. As I passed through a section of the pathway heavy with brown leaves I caught myself thinking, "uugh, brown leaves." Sometimes I really have to get my thoughts under control, so I decided to find some beauty in those ugly brown leaves.
