There is something about having a outdoor space to write, read, sunbathe, garden, and host that feels like a true luxury now that I live in New York. I grew up in Arkansas, where nature was my second home. I’d get lost in the woods for hours and spend entire afternoons in my parent’s garden; most of my childhood memories took place outside. Moving to NY has been life-changing in so many ways. I’m captivated by this city, the culture, the people, and the history.
