🌎 Happy Earth Day Friends 🌎⠀ .⠀ Sharing

🌎 Happy Earth Day Friends 🌎⠀
.⠀
Sharing a photo I’ve shared before as it’s one of my favorites. From a tiny island in the Caribbean named Saba.⠀
.⠀
This earth day has me reflecting a lot on time spent traveling and what a an actual gift it is to see the world.⠀
.⠀
This photo can’t be further from what my actual reality is right now. Pictured is tanned skin, salty hair and care free.⠀
.⠀
Reality is messy bun that not even dry shampoo can save, a pedicure hanging on for dear life and destroying random strangers at online monopoly at night. (My family won’t play monopoly with me anymore. Apparently I’m “too competitive” lol)⠀
.⠀
Idk about you guys - but I really look forward to traveling again. But for now, Mother Earth is getting a lil break that I’m sure is appreciated.⠀
.⠀
I know from my own experience, we are seeing so many interesting and rare birds in our yard, some of which I’ve never seen. (NEW BIRD WATCHER OVER HERE. quarantine goalz)⠀
.⠀
Anyway - for now, I’ll be enjoying some spring time walks in the woods with @bt, taking too many photos of my animals (is there such a thing?) and be mentally planning trips for us to take when it’s possible soon. (The first one being to LA to get these roots done 😂)⠀
.⠀
What is your current quarantine reality on this fine earth day?⠀

🇫🇷 FUNNY STORY BEHIND THIS VIEW 🇫🇷
.⠀
Being at home quarantined has given me a lot of time to reflect on some of my favorite memories of trips. Some of the memories are beautiful, some of them are crazy, and some of them are pretty comedic as well.⠀
.⠀
Two years ago, @BT and I spent one night in Paris for our anniversary. I booked our stay at the Hotel Regina because I wanted us to have the picture perfect view.⠀
.⠀
Our room did not disappoint and the hotel itself was incredible.⠀
.⠀
On our morning of departure, we ordered a big room service breakfast. It was such a beautiful spread. Scrambled eggs, bacon, fresh pastries, espresso, all on the hotels signature fine china. Even the butter had its own special ornate dish.⠀
.⠀
Brian was still in the shower when it got delivered, so I pushed our room service table over towards this window so we could have the view while we ate breakfast. We were leaving in a short time so I wanted us to soak it up as much as possible.⠀
.⠀
WELL HERE IS WHERE THINGS GO TERRIBLY WRONG LOL.⠀
.⠀
Now if you’re not familiar with the tables hotels use for in room dining - typically the have little wings that fold in and out, so the table can easily roll in and out of doorways. I have opened and closed them myself many times before so I was like, no problem, I’ll open this bad boy up.⠀
.⠀
I’m noodling around under the table and was having trouble getting the table to lock in place...I found what I *thought* was the switch to lock the wings and then all of the sudden...⠀
.⠀
THE TABLE SHOT UP LIKE A SLING SHOT AND THE BEAUTIFUL BREAKFAST, CHINA, AND EVEN THE LITTLE BUTTER DISH BROKE IN AN EXTRAORDINARY WAY.⠀
.⠀
Brian came running out to see if I was okay because it made a really loud crash. He walked into a breakfast crime scene. Me - looking mortified - and breakfast and glass allllllll in the carpet of this incredible room.⠀
.⠀
I felt SO guilty, mortified and embarrassed. I wanted the floor to open up and me go in it lol. I could not face the hotel staff and was worried they were about to go stereotypical French on my American self.⠀
.⠀
Well! Brian called the front desk and explained what happened. CONT. in comments below🇫🇷

Where is the first place you want to travel when t

Where is the first place you want to travel when things are back to “normal”?⠀
.⠀
Being forced to stay home has made me more grateful than ever for the ability to travel.
.⠀
I had the sad thought of, what if you could no longer travel long distances for good?⠀
.⠀
Travel is such a gift, and one I’ll never take for granted ever again.
.⠀
I read a book recently that has me quite fixated on visiting the south of France on the coast. (It’s called Meet Me in Monaco by @hazelgaynor and a perfect escape for the current reality)
.⠀
It may be a while before that can happen. But until it does - I’ll visit in my mind. Shut my eyes, listen to French jazz and slow dance with my husband in the kitchen. Because tbh, I’m even more grateful for that.⠀
.⠀
So - if you shut your eyes right now too - what destination do you visit in your mind?⠀
.⠀
.⠀

🌸”Where flowers bloom, so does hope.”
.
That quote from Lady Bird Johnson seems appropriate for today. It’s the start of spring, and while nature is reflecting that, what our world currently feels like is lacking.
.
In these times of uncertainty, I find myself trying to focus on what *is* in my control. Because everything else - well, there just isn’t much I can do.
.
To help myself through these difficult times, here is what I’m doing:
.
•getting enough rest.
•eating healthy & staying hydrated (don’t underestimate this one)
•turned off the news & started reading it instead. The news is too much stimulation for me right now - reading it feels more manageable.
•getting outside. Get in the sun if you can and take a walk in nature. It is food for your soul
•snuggling my pets. Natural Xanax. Thank god for pets am I right? They comfort me so much.
•laugh. If it’s a meme or an episode of The Office I’ve seen 26 times, humor is helping tremendously.
•connect. Call and text to help yourself forget you are isolated at all.
•take a bath if you can. Baths are the best. Soak away your anxiety nightly.
.
It feels like a lot of outside pressure right now to be spending this time at home working on some huge personal growth, project etc. And while I think that’s awesome, don’t punish yourself if you need time to take care of your nervous system and anxiety / stress. Not all days will be the same. Take care of yourselves.
.
What is something you are doing for yourself during this time of uncertainty?

🌅DISCONNECT TO RECONNECT🌅⠀
.⠀
Recently got back from a week in Jamaica where @BT and I did nothing but swim in the sea and read.⠀
.⠀
It’s incredible what time away from your devices can do for your brain - and honestly make you realize how attached you are to your phone.⠀
.⠀
It had been almost two years since the last time Brian and I took a trip just the two of us, and every time we do it reminds me how much we need it.⠀
.⠀
Life gets so busy - it gets stressful - it’s unpredictable. Time goes by so quickly. Taking the time to be with one another is what makes it all worth it.⠀
.⠀
On this trip we made a pact to be at the beach every evening for sunset. Some nights it was cloudy, but a couple of times it was magic. Seeing the sun sink down beneath the horizon to signal that the day is done.⠀
.⠀
Slowing down to watch the sunset reminds me that every day is a blessing, a new day, new chances. What a gift we have to treat every day like a clean slate if we choose..⠀
.⠀
So here’s to more slowing down. More disconnecting from device to connect in person. And to watching as many sunsets as you can.⠀
.⠀
Have you ever done a digital detox? Why or why not?⠀
.⠀
.⠀

A few months ago, @BT told my that my favorite color is tennis ball.⠀
.⠀
If you peaked in my closet lately, you’d probably agree 😂⠀
.⠀
What color is your closet comprised of the most?⠀
.⠀
Mine is black, neon yellow and leopard. Issa vibe.⠀

I woke up feeling so heavy this morning, as I’m sure a lot of others did today too.⠀
.⠀
Hearing about the loss of Kobe Bryant, his daughter, and the others onboard that helicopter yesterday is truly heartbreaking.⠀
.⠀
This morning, I couldn’t help from thinking of the family members who woke up today, had a split second before they remembered what their new reality is. I cannot imagine the pain they must be feeling.⠀
.⠀
It’s unusual for me to be able to feel so much sadness for someone I’ve never met. But it’s something I experience quite often, as I’m sure other empaths can relate. (INFP at your service.)⠀
.⠀
Life is so fleeting. Every morning when we wake up, put our feet on the ground and stand up is a blessing. Don’t take it for granted. Tell people you love them as much as you can.⠀
.⠀
Hugs to anyone who’s struggling today about anything, a loss, a conflict, a bad day. You are loved 💕⠀

✨Keeping it Analog✨⠀ .⠀ On a trip to Berli

✨Keeping it Analog✨⠀
.⠀
On a trip to Berlin over New Year’s, I kept spotting these film photo booths and was loving it. We used one and it was so fun to get our strip of photos still wet from the developer!⠀
.⠀
Something you may not know about me is I went to art school for photography for two years.⠀
.⠀
During my time there I spent the majority of my days in the darkroom (both b&w and color). I also met one of my best friends there as well (@jennifercatherinephotography)⠀
.⠀
Film is a dying art. And I get it. It’s time consuming. It’s expensive. But something about it is so romantic and timeless. Like taking a train, writing a letter, listening to an album on vinyl.⠀
.⠀
It’s like these ways of life we’ve replaced with more immediate solutions, when we do use them again, remind us to slow down and be present.⠀
.⠀
There is a feeling that can’t be explained, but things that are made with intent and legit by human hands have such depth to them.⠀
.⠀
The excitement of watching a print develop before your very eyes in the darkroom is thrilling. Especially when it’s a shot you remember taking and being like “that one will be amazing, I can just tell.”⠀
.⠀
I don’t pick up my film camera as much as I’d like. I grab my iPhone like most of you and am amazed at the quality of camera I can carry in my back pocket. But I hope for myself, this year I can remind myself to slow down and be more present. (I also dream of having a little darkroom in our basement someday!)⠀
.⠀
Pick up the camera. Read that book. Listen to an album and not an algorithm playlist. Remind yourself that just because it’s easier doesn’t always mean it’s better.⠀
.⠀
Is there any old school thing that you still love and enjoy?⠀
.⠀
.⠀

✨Don’t look back, you’re not going that way✨⠀
.⠀
Hard to believe that not only another year has gone by, but an entire decade.⠀
.⠀
These past ten years have given me so much. I have grown so much as an individual, as a partner, as a friend.⠀
.⠀
The ups and downs life gives us, they are all gifts. Even if in the moment we don’t see it or understand it.⠀
.⠀
I love and appreciate all of it, and look forward to what these next 10 years bring me as well.⠀
.⠀
Happy New Year to you all💕⠀

🎅🏻It’s Christmas time in the city!🎅🏻

🎅🏻It’s Christmas time in the city!🎅🏻⠀
.⠀
In New York for a night with my mom who has never been to NYC ever. Bringing her at Christmas time feels so special.⠀
.⠀
Something I’ve not shared before is that my mom is in a wheelchair. She’s an amputee and has been since I was 15.⠀
.⠀
Traveling with someone wheelchair bound poses a unique set of challenges most people don’t think about, but there’s some things you can do to help!⠀
.⠀
✨If you’re waiting on a corner to cross an intersection, don’t stand in the way of the ramp unless you need to go down it.⠀
.⠀
✨When possible, take the stairs! Waiting for an elevator to go only 1-2 floors up/down taking space from someone handicap is frustrating and not cool.⠀
.⠀
✨If you can, don’t use the handicap stall in a restroom unless you must. Wheelchairs cannot fit in regular stall door ways, and there is usually only one handicap stall.⠀
.⠀
✨Hold the door! If you can, always hold the door open for someone in a wheelchair. It is deeply appreciated!⠀
.⠀
✨Lastly, be mindful of your surroundings. Something I always notice is people will walk right over people in chairs without realizing because they are lower than most. Keep an eye out in crowded spaces for those in wheelchairs.⠀
.⠀
Thankfully I’m a pro at navigating crowds with my mom’s chair, but it’s definitely a thing and can be difficult.⠀
.⠀
That being said I wouldn’t trade this time with her for anything and am so pumped to show her the city!⠀
.⠀
.⠀

HOW IS IT DECEMBER??⠀
.⠀
It seems like I was just wandering the canals of Amsterdam a couple weeks ago, but here we are!⠀
.⠀
I took a bit of a content hiatus recently from my blog & page. Part intentional, part not.⠀
.⠀
Have been taking some time to do some learning and research for my blog, SEO and to focus on what I want to be writing about and sharing.⠀
.⠀
I am looking forward to Christmas time and spending NYE in Berlin.⠀
