Before I kiss 2014 Goodbye

Thank you for another wonderful year of readership, friendship, community, support, and affection.

This wonderful life of ours has been a beautiful roller coaster of lessons in family, marriage, courage, and the pursuit of individual passions.

2015 promises to throw a lot more of those things our way, and in the mix, we will continue to explore the world, our neighborhood, and ourselves.

Long before I blogged and was awarded so much, I lost a lot. What those losses taught me was that life is too short and every new day we wake up to experience is an opportunity to be better, get better, do better, and pursue better.

Every day is a chance to pursue our joy and share it with others. As long as we don’t lose hope in the possibilities that lay before us those chances can seem endless. Who we are today is not who we will always be, especially if who we are isn’t what makes us happy. Take it from me. I sometimes feel I have lived three different lives!

I am grateful for any day I am given in this new coming year where I get the chance to be the best that I can be in all aspects of my life so that hopefully when I am gone whatever mark I leave, however small, only serves to inspire and make someone smile. I may not always succeed, but man, am I trying.

And that is all we can hope for, my dear friends, and why I love sharing my stories with you. May next year have countless days where we live, love, and laugh to the fullest.

Thank you for taking the time to read, share, and comment.

I hope that I inspire you as often and as much as you inspire me.

Happy 2015!

Hello world. I’d like to introduce you to a new Hello world. I’d like to introduce you to a new angel to this world, my beautiful little niece, Solénn 🥰

Did I cry? Of course. She is precious and as the oldest of 10 kids, I got to carry almost all of my siblings when they were this age too and care for them as they grew up. So, it is surreal to now have my “first babies” having babies! ♥️ It’s so sweet and beautiful and man, I can’t wait to see them give it to their parents as much as their parents gave it to me 😂. Being a Titi is the best!

One of the coolest brewery vibes I’ve experience One of the coolest brewery vibes I’ve experienced has been in @bigalicebrewing in Brooklyn, NY (they also have an Queens location). So you know I was excited when they opened up a spot in the Finger Lakes (Geneva)! 

It’s been a minute since I’ve visited and they’ve expanded their outdoor space (shown here) and now regularly host music as well as a food truck to pair goodies with your brew.

The sunsets here are pretty epic too, and it’s such a cool place to chill and be with friends. The staff is also super friendly. Definitely add them to your list of places to check out! Also, kinda have to have a special place in my heart for fellow city-folk who fell in love with this magical place too and are doing awesome things here. 🍻

To think I went so much of my life unaware of all To think I went so much of my life unaware of all the beauty right at my finger tips. I will forever to my core be proud to be born and raised in New York City, and for a moment I thought nothing could ever be greater. Turns out the world is filled with endless pockets of beauty and breathtaking spots. Some of them don’t always make it onto TikTok or Insta but they really are special.

I was out and about shooting for work in Tompkins County, and love that I get to experience beautiful places daily. 

I didn’t filter, and I edited only to fit this video, a glimpse into a day in the life here. I wish and hope people appreciate how this truly is a wonderful place to be. 

Featured are: Views of Dryden Lake (in the rain!), scenes from @underhill.farm (for a country stay, blueberry picking, and sheep!), @hopshirebrews (for photos but also a drink to cool off!), then we stopped at the super cute @thebigsbymarket where we got the sweetest peaches ever!

Molly and I have the same attitude when it comes t Molly and I have the same attitude when it comes to being woken up from our slumber. We get this attitude every night when it’s time for her to get up from the couch and go to her bed. 😂🐾
