This weekend we have entered a new moon. It has been quite a magical time already for those who have chosen to remain positive during the past few weeks. I for one have made more sales from some recent photography products (my calendar and some of my pictures I’ve put up on an online art gallery), than I had initially anticipated and also expected. Or perhaps I have just been waiting on it all along and am now ready to reap the benefits. Read More »
Its’ the last day of the year 2016 and you know what that means: Time for the Year in Review!
This year has been certainly one of a kind (well, aren’t they all, the years?!). It seems that the continuous line of change, which has been a very strong part of my life since 2014 perhaps, is slowly but surely progressing. Change – in every way possible – I feel that is the code word of 2016, if any. Read More »
Today marks the day that I quit drinking one month ago. It’s been exactly 4 weeks since I downed my last cocktail and my last glass of wine and vowed to stop the binging for the next thirty days. And it’s been quite a month, I dare say! Why did I do it – why did I stop drinking? There are several reasons as to why I had enough of alcohol. Here we go: Read More »
After hiking Breakneck Ridge last year, I made a trip to Bear Mountain less than two weeks ago. It was peek fall season, which means the leaves on the trees have just the right color to symbolize perfect fall foliage on the Northeast Coast. Read More »
Labor Day Weekend was special in a few ways. One of them was certainly the advent of our first hurricane since Sandy. Hurricane Hermine decided to circumvent the metro area but the mayor still decided to shut down all beaches, quoting riff waves and rough currents as a safety hazard. Read More »
This summer I’ve had some pretty great beach days. Not nearly as many as I usually do (which is at least 8-9 times as I try to go every other weekend). But out of the 4 times I went (including Fire Island), every one of them was well worth it and amazingly breathtaking. Read More »
It’s the first week of September and summer is slowly winding down. I don’t know what’s better – a crazy busy three months or some slow summer loving. This time of year really turned me upside down in 2016. It seems that every year I experience the hot months in a different wayRead More »
Writing this last post in a series of four seems harder than usual. Even though I know I could go on and on every single month for the duration of a year or two, it won’t happen. I will continue to count my gratitudes every single day but I don’t think posting Read More »
It’s important to remind oneself of certain milestones. To stop and be still for a moment, cherishing everything that has been accomplished up until this moment.
Today marks the day I entered New York six years ago. On March 15th of 2010, I decided to put my previous life and expectations on hold and to enter a new dream. Read More »
The New Year has been in full swing for the past 19 days already. That’s almost 3 weeks! And as if it’s not enough, winter has finally come around to New York. Not tentatively, of course. But rather full blast, with a few icicles here and there and some freezing nights, reaching temperatures which feel like its 8F (or -13C) … Read More »
It’s a brand-new year- since 9 long days already. And with excitement of the New Year come of course a few new resolutions, which in my case are synonymous to travel plans. I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t have a few destinations picked out for this upcoming year already. The first confirmed trip of 2016 is indeed a visit back home. Read More »
It’s the last day of December in 2015 and you know what that means! Reflections, reflections, reflections!
A lot of people have told me how bad this year has been for them. For some reason folks have gone through a lot of hardships in 2015 Read More »
