Whenever I fly home to New Orleans I try to get a glimpse of the city from above if possible. It always helps me ground myself (yeah…I know) and remember that New Orleans is a special place - and my place. I know it so well… somewhere down there (is it back there, really tiny??) is our little house, our favorite bar, the kid’s daycare, my friends backyard, the playground, the grocery store, … all these places that hold so much meaning in our daily lives. Seeing them from above always makes them feel more magical than when I am running late for drop off or stuck in traffic while running errands. Now I just got to hold on to that magic and not let it melt away in this August heat…
