I could feel the humidity, see the Spanish moss and was sweating slightly as I read this. You had me from the worn spiral staircase, the light filtering in from the skylight and the polka dot dress. For me New Orleans in short doses is magical. It is a special place. You captured it.

Meredith, this is such a gorgeous and deeply-felt piece of writing! It transported me and made me think about all the places I have tried -- and sometimes failed -- to belong. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Julia -- thanks for showcasing Meredith's work.
