Welcome to my blog! You may be wondering why someone is writing yet another blog about moving to NYC. Yes, there are numerous blogs about relocating to the Big Apple - good ones with lots of tips and helpful advice. However, all of the blogs I've read have one thing in common - they are written by young professionals starting their careers and making their way as young adults with the hope and enthusiasm of the "1st Act". My blog is written from the perspective of a 60 something Boomer in her "2nd Act".
My reasons for uprooting my very comfortable, secure,and predictable life in a small town are to be near my children and grandchildren, to be part of their "village", to bond, to pass on wisdom and ritual that I was blessed with from MY grandparents. I have joined the very fortunate and increasing numbers of grandparents journeying across the country to be an active presence in our grandchildren's lives. My journey just happens to take me to New York City and, more specifically, Brooklyn. I look forward to sharing this journey with you, my readers, to provide relevant tips geared toward our age and stage in life and maybe a little encouragement along the way! Until next Sunday, have a joy filled week and know that you can do anything with the right intention.
Alia
