Coney Island

Coney Island.

I love your energy.

Thank you for having me today.

I will be back almost every weekend this summer for some more fried Oreos and a quick dip in the ocean.

See you soon.










Manchester City Vs Chelsea in NYC

Spanish Guy and I were so excited to learn that the Spanish National Team was coming to NYC, Yankee Stadium to play, so we went on line to buy tickets! Part of the package included the Manchester City vs Chelsea for May 25th. We were okay with that! It was an abnormally cold and rainy day in NYC, so we packed a fleece blanket, an umbrella and we were ready to go! With some great seats and fun company around us, we felt the energy of this friendly game.

It was better than we expected! We thought that because we didn't have an emotional connection to any of the teams that the experience wouldn't be as enjoyable, but it was quite the opposite. We had an even better time, we walked around the stadium, visited the shops, chit-chatted and screamed with excitement when both teams scored a goal! We appreciated the art in the sport, instead of the competition. 

We cant wait to see Spain vs Ireland on June 11th, thats going to be SO classic!

Whoever would have thought that Spanish Guy and I would be watching European Soccer in the Bronx! Go figure!

Life is good!



Honoring our Troops

As I sit here on this Memorial Day, I contemplate the blessings my family and I have received to have my brother back home safe and sound, two times over. Being a serviceman/woman during a time of war is a scary thing. I honor all the troops who keep us safe and allow for us to go about our daily lives without worry of attack on our own land. 

Its a privilege.

Reinventing Myself

Its always so refreshing to make a physical change, so thats how I started my year-long reinvention, with a drastic haircut, and I'M LOVING IT! 




Next comes, getting back into MARATHON SHAPE (I'm running the NYC Marathon this year) and getting a new job, or a pay raise!

Spiritually, I'm going to find more excitement in my life in the form of:
  • trying new restaurants
  • traveling to new countries/ places
  • meeting new people/joining new groups
  • Writing more scholarly articles and creative pieces
  • experimenting with new makeup and nail polishes (hehe)

So happy that the spring is here, I have SO much to look forward to and am enjoying every moment in the meantime! 
LOVE!
