A day in the life of…
I’ve always wondered … how Mike acts in a courtroom…how Audie talks to his models and his team…what Anna is learning is Med School..what Christie’s day feels like…how Margarita helps solve the climate crises from the UN…and how Jan does it from the UK.
And I learned that it is actually possible to find out, when Karla tagged along a whole day on my birthday this year…a late rise, lunch at Mercer Kitchen, shopping at my favorite store, (hop on train) pick up stuff from the office, (hop on train) then drink and chat with a bunch of friends — 25 of ‘em - at the sleek Hudson Hotel.
Having heard of, bought and read my book before we met, she’d wondered - as I have of my friends’ - how my days are like. A huff and puff while getting off the F on Rockefeller Center, and gold stilettos atow, she says, "A day in the life of Carissa… now I know. "
(That’s one in 365 different days…I’ll tell of Sept 18 and 19 2007 next.)
And so, now you know that I would love to tag along and be a first-hand observer to your days too…I feel that we all do something new and interesting every day…that’s what makes life worth living.
As I always say, it matters not what body or economy we were born in. We were born in the world. And the most important and most impressive thing, is what we do while we’re in it.
