Finding Family in NYC

I went to NYC last year to work for Spice Market. I feel to be so fortunate to have found special people who became friends and eventually extended family.

I just want to share this beautiful prayer Auntie Emily sent, especially in times of existential crisis like this.

You are always welcome to visit and if you ever want to spend your holidays in NY, come on over. If you ever want to explore Boston, Debbie can accomodate you. As life would have it, the bonds have been formed from the friendship your Grandpa had with my Uncle, then, your Dad & my brother in law as classmates in their early years. How can one not believe that God plans beautifully so we are able to take care of one another. Who would think that with the 8 million people in NY, you would wind up with us as an extended family! Some time ago, friends sent me this prayer and may you find strength in it.

May there be peace within you today. May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.

"I believe that friends are quiet angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly."

love & peace,
Auntie Emelie
