Deeper relationship with myself

This weekend I had an amazing eye opening experience. I finally felt like my life was my own. I love those moments of life we want to hold on to forever but they only last for seconds. But the realization is truly the best part. Living through the experience and carrying it with you for the rest of your life knowing and feeling  life as yours. It's such a beautiful thing. Having a deeper relationship with oneself and finding the extraordinary in the ordinary. 

I'm going to be an aunt!

I had such a great time with my family and my sister today! I love her so much and I'm so excited for her to be a mommy! She has a great support system behind her and so many people who love and care about her and her little man! I can't wait to meet this very blessed baby boy! I couldn't imagine my life without my sister... we've had so many amazing memories and I love her more than words. Even if I'm not always there I think about Christina constantly! Xoxox I wish her little family only the best and true happiness!! 

The Brooklyn Blood Moon

I woke up at 5am today October 8th 2014

In pursuit of a little magic I headed out to the Brooklyn Bridge Park and the slight chance that I would see the blood moon.

It was very cloudy and dark and I wasn't sure where I was supposed to be looking. Then suddenly just as I walked down I saw several photographers set up taking photos and I knew I was experiencing the blood moon yet it was a mysterious experience. The wind was blowing, yet there was a sense of warmth in the sky. This hazley crescent of flamingo orange peeked out against a pale blue backdrop of cotton candy clouds. 

After the sun began to rise, the clouds performed a mystical display of life in the morning sky directly over New York City. 

Off to my favorite juice bar. You are what you eat... Green! Well a little bit of everything. 

Danny's song was playing on the radio. 

The People's Climate March NYC 09.21.14

Today was more amazing than I could have ever imagined. I went back to NYC this weekend for the Worlds Largest Climate March! 

28 is already amazing

Life is about the journey and enjoying all of the little gems along the way. I had such an amazing day with my friends and family today. I couldn't have asked for more wonderful memories of my birthday in Brooklyn! 

The last weekend of summer 2014

I'm heading home on the train to New Jersey to see my family for the last weekend of summer. I'm also making it back to NYC for the climate march this Sunday. I have been volunteering and spreading the word about the march and I am excited for our voices to be heard on this historical event. I'm also very glad I get to see my family. It's nice and unexpected but the weather is getting too cold for shorts and sandals so back home I go to collect my favorite cold weather attire :) see family and march the march!  

Breakfast of champions

I woke up at 5:00 am exactly this morning without an alarm and started my day. I went into manhattan with a friend for a networking breakfast event where I met some incredible individuals. I was introduced to this wonderful group of people and I will continue to connect with them by introducing them to more sustainable ideas about green roofs and design opportunities. I saw the moon while walking to the subway this morning and I was so motivated to be there and be able to be a part of this group. What a great start to the day! For breakfast we had nuts and granola with fresh fruit and scrambled eggs with a salad and scone 😋 I could get used to this for sure!
