I’m feeling like a rock star. Well, not really, but I am feeling kinda special. Two of my Facebook and Instagram posts garnered a lot (for me) of “likes” and comments. I even got a text from an out-of-state cousin’s girlfriend. Last night I went to an author event at the Barnes and Noble located in Union Square. The author was Padma Lakshmi for her new memoir Love, Loss, and What We Ate. I know of Lakshmi and I like […]

Love Is The One Thing Everyone Wants; It’s The One Thing Not Everyone Has*

10/04/2013 by Sherring D.

Yesterday was the birthday of my first love. Well, my only love really. We were together for three years; apart now for almost ten. Nothing has come close to duplicating our relationship. I don’t lament it, just reminiscing. As most first loves, it ran its course, I suppose. My other love brought us together. We met when I worked at Waldenbooks Brentanos, the second of three bookstores on my resume. After that, I worked for publishers, where I was still […]
