On my last day in the city, when I strolled through the hustle and bustle of Manhattan, the memories of hopes for my time in New York City and my unfulfilled paper confetti wishes for 2020 caused me great regret and sadness.

At a special moment on that day, a familiar-looking woman walked past me and I suddenly realized that she was Cynthia Nixon, the actress who played Miranda Hobbes, the lawyer among the four women in Sex and the City. I ran up to her and asked, to make sure I wasn't wrong. Meeting and talking with her left me feeling inspired once again.

I thought of this as a farewell gift from the city and, as I continued to stroll down the road, I was singing It's Amazing again: "Show patience now, frustration's in the air...Get back on your feet and you'll be stronger and smarter."
