Patricia Sexton: Why I’ve Hesitated to Leave New York City

Forthcoming Beaufort author Patricia Sexton writes about her love affair with New York City, and how difficult it was to finally leave in her latest blog post.

As a native New Yorker, I fully understand how simultaneously exciting and disheartening it can sometimes be to live in the city that never sleeps. You’re surrounded by visible proof of the best and the worst humanity has to offer: glittering marvels of modern engineering, museums and galleries on seemingly every street, and five star restaurants offering cuisine from every corner of the globe versus homelessness and poverty, crime, and air pollution. Sometimes, I’m tempted to pack everything and move far, far away.

Forthcoming Beaufort author Patricia Sexton did just that. In her upcoming memoir, LIVE From Mongolia!, she talks about her decision to leave a Wall Street career to follow her dream of becoming a news anchor in Mongolia. In her latest blog post, she discusses how difficult her decision to leave New York City “for good” was, and what helped her make the final push to go. Check out this, and the rest of her blog, here.
