Here I am firmly in the present. The now is all around me. Yet, the past defines me. I am the product of my memories–the influences, the choices, the places, the people who loved me and who I loved. And then there are the visions of the future and my wish to mold it into a world I imagine I want to live in from a perspective clearly entrenched in the now. I exist in a prism of time.

Wonderful site showing years of polish!

Where on Long Island did you grow up? I’m a LI girl. Grew up in Brightwaters! Nice to meet you!
Actually, I grew up on Staten Island. I moved to Long Island when I married. I live in West Hempstead. Nice to meet you too!
