PICTURE SHOW: NYC HAPPY HOUR SUNSET BOAT CURISE, ROCKWOOD MUSIC AND LIFE

Happy Labor Day, Everyone!!!

Just a quick week wrap up in pictures...it's been a busy week on so many fronts and one of my best friends from college was up visiting from North Carolina for the weekend!

Pictures of us are on her camera, so, those will be coming later, but pictures from our adventures were on mine for the most part via my Instagram.

We went on a sunset Happy Hour cruise along the East River, which was fun and got to see all the NYC landmarks in all their glory on a beautiful evening.

Among other adventures all over the city in 2 very full days, from Washington Square Park to the Financial District by the Freedom Tower, Little Italy, SoHo, The Village and more!

I promise some affordable fashions, reviews and DIY will be on their way soon...I just need a little time to get things sorted out and in order in my life first!

Thank you for your patience! ❤

NYC...a moment that took me away from life in the middle of the water for a moment

and reminded me just how lucky I am to live here.

SATURDAY SAYINGS: "GIVE IT AWAY" BY GREG HOLDEN...A LITTLE MUSIC THERAPY

Happy Saturday, Everyone!

Life has really taken me on a whirlwind of emotions and experiences this months and this week has really tested my strength in positivity, but I going to keep smiling and believing! :)

Sorry I have been away, but I promise to be back in full swing very soon, and truly appreciate all of you and your kind words, especially on Instagram, you are all so supportive, thank you!!!

Thursday night Greg Holden, one of the artists with whom I feel fortunate to know and work side by side with, performed at Rockwood Music Hall and what a show it was, so great!

So, instead of Saturday Sayings this week, I'm sharing his performance and song, which I think spread an uplifting and inspiring message of its own.

It provided a much needed night of music therapy for me, and he sure puts on such a fantastic live show!  More important, he is one of the kindest, most positive, genuine, give and talented people I know, and I am so, so proud of him!

I videoed his performance of "Just Give It Away," a song he wrote about simply letting go of your worries and anxieties in life that hold you down, which was pretty must speaking right to my heart, and it is such a great song!
