Who else would actually say this and mean it, right? Walt Disney's imagination is what brought him to create an amazing world of fun. To many, it was considered impossible, to him it was a dream that eventually came true. Some times it's good to trust your dreams and allow your imagination ...

Today's inspiration is from American artist Christian Faur. Although he utilizes many mediums to create his paintings, today I am showing you an amazing technique he applies—the use of crayons. Instead of using the crayons to color, as we all did as children, he uses each one as a pixel in his p...

This Sunday is my birthday, so I felt that this quote was perfect because that's exactly how I feel. We weren't stamped an expiration date when we were born, therefore we have no idea how long our life will be— nor should it matter to know. What matters is the quality of your life, not the le...

You don't have to be Gandhi, or famous for that matter, to have this apply to you. Your life is your message to the world. How you live your life leaves a mark—no matter what it is. This makes me really think about what message I am leaving. I want my message to be positive, inspiring, creati...

Because of the New Year a lot of us are excited and have many plans for our life. But "living life" should not be a resolution or goal. It should not come and go. We should make LIVING a conscious way of being, living is everything, at every moment, it's right now. Helen Keller believed life...

Tucked away on a quiet cobblestone street in Soho sits the Mondrian Soho Hotel. It's a modern and very stylish hotel. It has the expected downtown New York vibe, which I love. For our wedding day that's where we chose to stay. The suite was gorgeous and very spacious—even for non New York...

Sometimes what we do might not seem like much, or we think that it might not even matter. But we are all part of this great "ocean" and every little action we take makes a difference. What we do will affect others as well. It's a ripple effect. You do make a difference and you are a very impo...

Very true, right? I was a teenager the first time I read this quote and I have never forgotten it. I remember writing it down and hanging it on my "inspiration wall" next to all my magazine tears and posters. As Don Miguel Ruiz says in his book, The Four Agreements, "be impeccable with your...

On Monday we headed on a family adventure to Alstede Farm in Chester, New Jersey. It was a beautiful day filled with smiles, animal feeding and lots of pumpkins! Duo is obsessed with animals, and besides our cat, the city dogs, pigeons and the occasional squirrel he doesn't get to see and f...

Last week I had the pleasure of being invited to an Italian Culinary Experience with Casa Vinicola Zonin wines and Circo NYC restaurant. It was held at The International Culinary Center in Soho. I invited my friend Nachi, whom I knew would be the perfect guest for this event. As soon as we arr...

Sometimes the most unexpected wisdom comes from the most unexpected places or people. Marilyn Monroe had many simple sayings that have a lot of meaning. "We are all of us stars, and we deserve to twinkle." Such a simple and honest quote. I too believe this. I think that we are all stars in th...

Phuket, Thailand. Beach where we got engaged. In August 2007 (yes six years ago), while on a 40 day trip through Japan, China, Thailand and India, Brian and I arrived in Phuket, Thailand. The First Proposal: We had been sightseeing all day when Brian suggested to relax on the rocks ...

This past weekend we visited one of my favorites places in the city: Ladurée. It's located in the Upper East Side and whenever I am in the area I make a stop. Well, this weekend we were heading to Central Park so of course we had to get some macarons! This is the only location in the States an...

I've mentioned before that this quote is one of my favorites. It's helped me "go for it" in moments of doubt and it's reminded me in others that if "I'm here (alive)" then there's still much more to do! We should never stop being ourselves, or stop dreaming about our next move—at any age. Ag...

Are you running all the time? Are you constantly thinking about what it is that you have to do next? Is your "to do list" always in your head? Do you worry too much? There are a million reasons why we have to hurry or why we are running to what we have to do next. But there is no guaranteed ...

Life is a journey, and for that reason, it's an accumulation of events and not just "one big event". If you take each moment and put love into what you are doing, you will end up with a life filled with love. When you make it a habit to always do your best and do it with love, you will begin ...

Nobody can be replaced because we are all unique, however many of us go along life trying to "fit in", or "belong" when all the beauty is in being an original. We are all a work of art. There are many styles of art; impressionism, pop, abstract, and they are all masterpieces. A different kin...

Brian and I scuba-diving in Hawaii Are you spontaneous? As children we all are, but somewhere along the way we lose it... Being spontaneous is something that most lack. We are so busy planning our lives that we have forgotten to live. When we are spontaneous we are present, living in the mom...
