An afternoon in Paris

Enjoyed this post? Give it some love and share!

I have a lot to share about my time in France, including our lovely family vacation in Paris.

While I work on all my stories, I wanted to take a minute to share with you a quick little video my family and I put together to give you a glimpse into a day in Paris with us.

It’s not professionally shot, most of it was my teen or me, or whomever was willing to hold the phone because shooting video of a family vacation is darn difficult, y’all.

But, I hope it succeeds in sharing our joy with you. And inspires you to take a trip with your own family.

Happy travels, my friends!

A friend of mine recently asked me how I was feeli A friend of mine recently asked me how I was feeling, and I genuinely told them I felt happy. And I sat for a moment in those words because they felt so real and deep. Just happy. Now, that’s not the same as perfect..I recently got into an argument with hubby (we’re fine),and being the mom of teens can be daunting sometimes (but they also make me so proud), and I recently experienced a racist during a work situation (no worries, was immediately surrounded with support and allyship), and life and so on…but at the core of it all, when I lay my head down to sleep, I am happy. And that took work and commitment to myself and a purpose to craft a life I wanted - not based off of someone’s interpretation of it on social media or anywhere for that matter, but instead from a lot of learning and mistakes and do overs. In fact, so much of my joy is not even something I post on here. I share this because I am easily the oldest in my friend groups and I know a lot of them are reading and going through it - whether it’s from lost loves or lost job opportunities, or lost friendships, or whatever else life throws at us. I want them to know that there is still so much room for joy and that they should never give up on their journey towards it. Because, like me, they are so loved. So just keep going. ♥️
Loved spending time with @sandrafoyt and @travelin Loved spending time with @sandrafoyt and @travelingmitch here in the Finger Lakes as we explored the Cayuga Lake Blueway Trail together! Never heard of it? Then follow the @cayugascenicbyway and stay tuned for a lot more on this beautiful lake trail! But, also thank you to longtime professional media friends who are there for me when I need them the most ♥️ There are so many years of friendship between me and these two angels. I’m so lucky to call them my friends! #friendships #fingerlakes #bluewayflx #sceniccayuga #cayugalake #fingerlakes

Then spent time at @theflxcottage picking from our own apple trees, while the grape-scent and sounds of harvesting filled the air. It’s a beautiful time to be in @flxwinecountry ❤️ #harvestseason #applepicking #fingerlakes #myflx #winecountry #fallinflx #autumnvibes

The products support other small businesses, many of them women and well, they are just lovely to wear. I have yet to meet Olivia, the owner, though we have on our calendar to become BFFs one day. In the meantime, join me in supporting yet another small, woman-owned business and can’t wait to make this my fall look this year. Oh! And be sure to check out their beanies too! #hatlover #womanowned #supportlocal #shopsmall #ithacany #fingerlakes
We’ve arrived to Bogotá, Colombia! 🇨🇴 Ou We’ve arrived to Bogotá, Colombia! 🇨🇴 Our trip is quick, but already I’ve been able to connect with some friends attending the @societyofamericantravelwriters conference here and see some of this amazing city. It’s impossible to fully describe from just a day, so I will share my impressions. Despite how incredibly white media portrays Colombians to be, I have mostly encountered Colombians with clear Indigenous roots, which honestly I am loving so much. It’s the same impression I got from my time in Perú - this lovely, vibrant community is incredibly visible here and I think some people might be surprised by that. I wish I had time to visit the coast and explore more of Colombia’s Afro community and heritage, which I have heard is awe-inspiring. Next time. I thought, as a Dominican Puerto Rican that our Spanish was fast. Nope. Colombian Spanish takes the prize! It is super fast, and I am up for the challenge! My exposure to Colombian food first happened in Jackson Heights, Queens, NY. I thought that was the absolute best. But of course, nothing like the real deal. Just, be careful to not fall into a tourist trap. I rely on the taxi drivers and hotel staff (and our lovely Colombian friends) to guide me to where they would take their grandma to eat! (Younger generations tend to lean less towards traditional dishes, and more to things like pizza or burgers - so don’t just ask them where they eat.) We have found getting around pretty easy but Bogotá is vast, so some of the places can take 30-40 mins to get to…in the city! No one, and I mean no one is trying to speak to me in English…they just know, I guess. But it’s also fun to listen to @travisjcain practicing his Spanish. I am eating all the things and drinking all the natural fruit juices. It is so delicious and the people are so friendly. And I could walk the historic district for days and admire the street art for many days more!
