Ok. I admit it. I loved Montreal.

Montrealers are known for their pride of their hometown. I think they deserve to be. Montreal is a great city and their ability to hold on to two cultures and languages for generations is something I greatly admire and even envy. Coming from NYC, I respect and understand cultural, hometown pride and Montrealers have much to be proud about, including all the awesome they have to offer those who visit. They are friendly and happy to share their city with you – to show it off, if you will – and I was more than happy to take it all in.

Montreal rocks and I can’t wait to go back and think you should visit as well.

In the meantime, here are some photos from my trip.

    LOVE Montreal. It is a place our family vacations at least once per year. I was there in November and every time I go, I love the city more. It is such a diverse and exciting city, one that anyone and any family can really enjoy. I really liked your photos they portrayed the beauty of the city. familyfoodtravel.blogspot.ca

    I'm so glad you went to Palais de Congres, one of my favourite places to shoot in Montreal.

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 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

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
