I look pretty awful in caps but I love supporting @miamibeachpd and #breastcancerawareness — all proceeds go to #susanbkomen and also local charities. #pink https://www.instagram.com/p/BpARMAnHXMj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=w4ozzjlzuco7

With two fabulous and beautiful souls, one I’ve known for ....uh, some decades and the other about a decade.

As I have done every year, in the 17 since 9/11, in these eleven of those on FB, and as I will continue to do every year henceforth, I am sharing this mere breath of a poem I was inspired to "write" that day about one hour after the first tower fell. I had moved to Miami Beach from NYC on 7.11.01, exactly two months prior to THE DAY. My heart still "belonged" to the city and I felt tremendous "guilt" for not being there somehow. To this day, I still think of New York City as my home, at least in the sense of "growing up." In a similar way, 9/11 is the day we all "grew up." It was the turning of a page that forever changed all of our lives. There was no going back and un-reading that chapter...... #NYC #WTC #twintowers #neverforget #remember911 #poem #poetry #911 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bnlp8U6nx9D/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1dwuva3g1hmw6

I do not ever crave sugar or sweets; fried food, but #sweets, no. That being said, these #cookies are AMAZING. They come ready-to-bake in cute little packaging. They are #vegan, #glutenfree & absolutely #delicious. #SweetLoren's. This particular flavor is chocolate chunk. I undercook them just a smidge so they are nice and #chewy/ #gooey. #delish @sweetlorens @vegan #veganfood #vegandessert #vegancookies #vegansofig
