And while I was getting the very important bang trim, I noticed my hairdresser had on a jade bracelet. It reminded me of my trip to China, one of the inspirations of Where the Mountain Meets the Moon, and the jade bracelets I saw there. And then, suddenly, I felt like I HAD to wear a jade bracelet with my outfit. It was quite irrational.
But what to do? There wasn't time for me to go down to Boston's Chinatown. I could, perhaps, get one when I was in NYC but the schedule looked packed. In fact, the only time I had to shop was right then. I'd just have to hope I could find one locally on the way home from the hairdresser.
And it didn't seem promising. Libby, who was visiting (we always seem to do hair escapades together), was with me and we walked from one store to the next--Tibetan shops to thrift stores. Finally, at the very last store before home, we found one!
It was like fate! I hope it will be my good luck charm for the interview--in fact, Libby bought it for me because she thought it would be luckier if it was a gift. I really hope so...

Grace,
Saw you on the Today Show and feel like I know you somehow??
Just to see:
I went to Saint Matthews School in Hastings, NY, Maria Regina High School in Hartstdale, NY and Salve Regina College in Newport, RI.
Is any of this familiar? I'm pretty good with faces - your first name sounds familiar as well.
My name is Linda
All the best.
Just finished watching, Grace. You were fabulous!!!
Hi Everyone! Thanks for your good thoughts!
Linda-hmm, not familiar though we were always in kind of the same general vicinity. I grew up in New Hartford, NY about an hour away from Syracuse and went to school at RISD, in Providence RI. RI is not a very big state, maybe our paths crossed there?
