Pretty in pink.

“I long, as does every human being, to be at home wherever I find myself.” – Maya Angelou

I know that I have said it before, but I love how I live in such close proximity to Detroit, which is definitely one of the coolest cities in the midwest, and maybe the whole United States. But something I’m not sure I mentioned is how I also love living in Canada. When I was younger, I wanted to leave Windsor because I thought it was boring and uninspiring. I hear the same sentiments from my high school students today. But the older I got, the more I came to appreciate the city I was born and raised in. Windsor has its flaws (as does any city), but I love how multicultural it is, and how it’s small enough to know a lot of people. Recently I’ve even met some awesome local girl bosses doing amazing things for our city, and this made me very proud to be part of such a supportive community. So when I’m on the riverfront I certainly don’t look over to Detroit wishing I lived there, but consider myself lucky to have the view and to call Windsor my home.
