What's New With U? October 2025
Dear Friends,
As we approach the end of a beautiful October in New York, the changing trees remind us that we have to let go of the old to make space for the new. The process of letting go is key to a creative life — what one chooses to leave behind is often as important as what one chooses to move toward.
