Beaver Creek Mountain, Colorado Photography

Even though we are still feeling the chill in the air, I can’t help but think of the beauty of the warmer months to come. Though I do have hopes to hit the beach, my heart still flutters at the thought of a scene of a different kind: the Colorado Rockies, specifically as seen during my visit last year to Beaver Creek, where somewhere between long hikes through aspen forests and the smell of fresh lilies in the mountain air, I fell in love with the place.

I hope my photography captured at least a hint of the breathtaking beauty there and give you inspiration to travel in the coming seasons.

    I do too Barbara! So many people think only of the ski season, I love it most in the warmer months.

You know how silence can sometimes bring to surfac You know how silence can sometimes bring to surface things you’ve been pushing to the side? Well, when I was bedridden with a bad cold (yes, just a cold, NOT COVID), I had time to think and in my thinking came my longing to write again. Or more. Write so much more. In working to grow @braveworldmedia, I haven’t had the chance to write on my blog as much. But, in working on the agency, I’ve come across so many wonderful stories I want to tell. And travel. Ughhhh. I miss traveling. I miss the discomfort of it and unfamiliarity it brings and the excitement and adventure. I miss the world. And hearing other opinions outside of this country and connecting with different cultures and people. I miss foreign languages and sounds and foods. I am working on getting back to what I miss. I am building something great…and I have some news around it all that I will share soon. But if you are there with me, kind of on hold for a bit, just remember to not get lost in the wanderlust so deeply that you miss out on the beauty right in front of you. And be kind and patient with yourself. Sometimes, life just happens in a way that puts other passions on hold. It’s still living. It’s still growth. And you can always come back to it all when the insanity is over. I am better now. And will reply to all those emails soon. But I am also super excited for what’s happening and what’s ahead. Embrace it all.
In 2008, I started a little blog that focused on l In 2008, I started a little blog that focused on life in NYC. I started it because everything I read, online and off, about NYC was framed around a very non-diverse, privileged gaze. And that was not at all my NYC experience - as a native, or as a mom. So, the blog aimed to change that. And it did. And it grew and as I worked more and more with brands and public relations pros, I realized that part of the problem coming from the decision-making table. Who got campaign ops, who was getting paid, who got selected for press trips, who was quoted. So in 2017, I made the (very hard) decision to walk away from the front-facing work of media and travel writing and disappeared into the backend, invisible work of communication and public relations. I wanted to create a space at the table where the decisions were being made. I wanted to educate and influence and change the narratives, the faces, and the voices of those given platforms to tell the stories. That was the impetus behind the birth of @BraveWorldMedia. Yes, we are a communication, branding, and social media agency, but we are committed to diversity at every level in the work that we do and how we help our brands best represent themselves. This November will be 4 years since I launched this little agency that could, and I am so incredibly proud of the work we are doing and the voices and talent we have helped our clients to partner with. I am so deeply honored to have been named among Forbes Next 1000. I am so incredibly grateful that the work we are doing is getting noticed and being celebrated. THANK YOU to everyone who has given Brave World Media a chance.

I spent the past couple of days under the weather. I spent the past couple of days under the weather. I slept and rested and let my boys take care of me (hubby was celebrating his birthday weekend with friends). Today, I feel so much better and back to life and happy. And imagine how much happier I was to venture out into the world and see all the awesome pumpkin patches open! 🎃 I am not one to hurry time away, but man oh man, this is my happy season and I am going all in! 🍂 . . . #flxfall #fingerlakes #fall #pumpkinpatch #countryliving #bestoffall #myflx

To the best dad anywhere to our lucky children, and to my best friend. You’re kind and gentle and good and we love you so, so, so much, @travisjcain. We are so lucky to have you in our lives.
A rainy Sunday in wine country and a delightful br A rainy Sunday in wine country and a delightful brunch date at @ryanwilliamvineyard. Reservations highly required. Pair your meal with one of the wine flights offered, white to red, dry to sweet, and a mix of both. The ambiance is serene and beautiful. The fog over the hills and Seneca Lake gave it a magical feel. We walked away so happy with our experience and a few bottles to remember it all with. . . . #myflx #fingerlakes #winecountry #senecalake #flxfall #rainysunday #flxwinecountry #brunch #winelover
