I met a boy, a man, a friend;
I knew his face but not his name.
I recognized his eyes;
the man behind the clown.
The clown gave me a heart balloon.
The man gave me his name.
He gave me his love.
His life.
His happy.
I gave him my heart, my soul, my days.
He didn’t guarantee the balloon wouldn’t pop
or that it wouldn’t deflate.
But it didn’t.
Our eyes made promises,
our touch fulfilled them.
It was poetic, romantic, a dream.
We flew, cushioned on its magical air.
We soared through trees and bounced on clouds.
We found rainbows, we saw sunsets.
On the grass, the sand, the rocks -
in the skies and deep underground.
We created a fantasy, a fairytale,
an Us.
A We.
Our heart started beating.
Love.
All from one heart balloon.

My New Job: Writing Dangerously
By: Galina Nemirovsky | 24/03/2009 | CareersMy new job has lots of numbers. It's hard for a letters girl to enjoy numbers, but as the boss says, "the analysis runs the business." (Funny, I thought we did.) I'm supposed to be creative, yet I struggle daily - often project-to-project, meeting-to-meeting. There's freedom - but it seems to be confined to a strict box. Like prisoners who get freedom by getting to walk around a yard.
A Spring Day in Central Park
By: Galina Nemirovsky | 04/02/2009 | Non-FictionThe grass is at its prime in Central Park – just having drunk three days worth of spring showers. Like a fresh haircut, the blades dance in the wind, glints of sun, like glitter, are sprinkled throughout the Great Lawn. Overdressed in my late winter parka, I walk amongst the athletes, the tourists, the private high school kids in phys ed. Children run one step in front of the nannies – yet one step behind the mommies on the Blackberries.
I Am a Writer
By: Galina Nemirovsky | 30/01/2009 | WritingI never called myself a writer. I never thought I was good enough – clearly limiting myself only by my own battle with perfectionism. I pursued 12-year career in advertising where writing was the PS – rather not the body – of my life. Finally, they fired me and I found myself in a moment of mental liberation. I was forced into a crossroads of low risk and nothing to lose. With fear eliminated from the equation, I took a chance. I decided that yes I was going to define myself as a writer.
Tech Took the Human Out of Human Resources
By: Galina Nemirovsky | 27/01/2009 | Human ResourcesHuman Resources is a lovely discipline occupied by thousands of wonderfully insightful intelligent people. Formally, the field is referred to as Industrial/Organizational Psychology (or the name on your degree). The science behind Human Resources aims to make organizations more productive while ensuring productive and healthy lives for its workers. Translation: workers happy, company thrives. They even used to call it PERSONnel!

2,991 Days our Lives Changed Forever
By: Galina Nemirovsky | 23/12/2008 | News & Society9/11 as a number, when spoken out loud, has become redefined. For most Americans, visually 9-1-1 has always symbolized emergency. After September 11th, 2001, 9/11 represented a day that surpassed emergency. It became a day I wouldn’t forget as it happened in real time. Soon it evolved into my generation’s JFK question: “Where were you on 9/11?”
Reflections on Being Fired
By: Galina Nemirovsky | 10/12/2008 | CareersI was walking near Lincoln Center about a week after I got fired. The weather was glorious and I felt like every breath I took brought me higher and higher. I wanted to hug everyone harder and harder. I had a glow. I was in love with every morsel of life and I finally had time to taste every bite. My six-year-old son and I were skipping down the Upper West Side when I noticed a familiar face walking beside me. It was Mr. G, a seasoned weatherman (couldn’t resist the pun). I don’t watch the weat
How Old is Old?
By: Galina Nemirovsky | 01/12/2008 | Home & Family"How old are you mommy,” my six-year-old asked me recently. I’ve told him before but it must have been in another context. He’s asking for another reason. I’m not sure why. “34,” I answer. “That’s old,” he says.
