A LOVE LETTER TO MIAMI

As we sit here and ponder what you are and mean to us, we are overwhelmed by gratitude From your breathtaking beaches to your dynamic culture, you have mesmerized us as you have millions. Your salty breeze, your radiant warmth enliven us Your vibrant neighborhoods and your diverse gastronomy keep all of us constantly exploring.

No wonder your nickname is the the Magic City We came here over 30 years by chance, and have stayed ever since by choice. You have us spellbound. You are truly a special place that makes everyone feel right at home. You are sexy but familiar You mean business but you are never dull.

You are city of many nooks and crannies, many faces and facets You are a microcosm of microcosms.

Miami. your landscape is bustling, a bit quirky and always evolving. You are a city of glamour and grit, of beauty and brawn, of sweets and sweats, a harmonious cacophony of sights, sounds and senses.

You have taught us to slow down when we become too hurried and have given us wings so we can take flight. But, what we probably love most about you, Miami, is your soul, your energy

Your fierceness is unparalleled. You are a beacon that shines brightly with hope, opportunity and the promise of tomorrow with the merriment of today. We may have come to your doorstep as stranger, but you have welcomed us home. As such, our treasured Miami, we promise to nurture you, cherish you and love you always

P.S. If we can only solve the traffic issue that will be icing on the cake.
