deep into fiction over the past year — must be the Miami effect…..

There’s just something about the Miami breeze. My natural reaction at the beginning of the year was to find a way to spend more time swimming in the ocean, as it seems my natural habitat ( I feel happier, more energized, optimistic, euphoric) → never thought I’d live outside of California, the technological hub and epicenter of innovation for decades……here I am in Miami, a place where the ocean breeze mets a futuristic Singaporean skyline and lifestyle, with great expansion plans and strong sense of entrepreneurialism and optimism. I have never been this excited and optimistic about the future of a city.

Miami truly feels like a global city, a multicultural pot shaped by a great vision of the future, by people that are optimistic about what’s to come. I am too.
