One up!

When we first moved to our Harlem apartment, hubby asked me if there was a rooftop. Based on the issues we were having with the apartment, I assumed that we did not. Well fate would have it that we were sitting out on the stoop last night and began talking to one of our neighbors who said something about having a BBQ on the roof. What? There's a roof? We walk the 6 flights up, open the door and I see all of Harlem! I even see the Empire State building in the distance. But the best part, an amazing breeze that felt like God was blowing it himself. On the hottest night of the summer, and possibly historically, I sat on my rooftop and enjoyed a steady breeze, watched the stars and tracked the most illuminated half moon I've ever seen. And to think, this did not exist because I did not believe that it did...My Harlem!

Best Corner in Harlem!

Ok, so I have been here for almost 5 months now and I can officially say that I have landed in the best possible spot to watch the growth of My Harlem. Now all I need is a Busboys and Poets where Riley and I can go to write. Manifesting!
