This is a photo taken of me and Marion Margolis<\/span><\/span><\/a>. We met on my visit to NYC last weekend. Marion was very kind to my wife and I on our visit. A seemingly accidental meeting as we were taking in the beauty of Central Park. The photo above was shot in Central Park West<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Marion is an author (among many things). She is a writer of 3 children's books<\/a>. The one that intrigued me most was titled <\/span>New Digs for Beau<\/a><\/em>, about her beloved Dalmatian. She spoke fondly, with emphasis, about the her relationship with this special dog named Beau. I don't know if she knew how I was reveling in our conversation. It was so strange and familiar all together. This was important as I am making my way through a new chapter in life, and as I craft a second book.<\/span><\/p>\n

I asked her about her inspirations and what her process for writing was like. Marion likes silence, I like music when writing. Two authors connecting on the process of writing. It's always intriguing to learn what sparks creativity in artists. She truly <\/span>inspired me. <\/p>\n

Ever been to a place out of a dream that lived out like that dream? That's what my meeting Marion was like. It was like I was invited to participate in something beyond what I could have imagined. All of this and more, in a place called Central Park West.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
