This weekend is wrapping up and so is this challenge. It’s been quite a ride and I am so glad you came along on this ride with me. Sharing a small sample of what I’m thankful for really gave me an opportunity to reflect on what’s truly important to me. This exercise was inclusive […]

Gratitude Challenge – Thankful For My Car
Today I am thankful for my car. I know it sounds a bit materialistic, but I truly love it (and that’s an understatement!) I have always loved cars since I was a little girl. I’ve had a dream car since I can remember. My love of cars started early because my father used to […]
NYC Holiday Events: Macys Thanksgiving Day Parade
I’m dropping another thing into your bucket. Of course, I mean your travel and adventure bucket list. I know its customary for you to visit relatives, eat turkey and watch football on Thanksgiving Day. It is for me too. Matter of fact, I’m going to be eating and watching football with 50+ family members (with […]
Are You Giving Back This Thanksgiving?
I have a confession to make. Every year, I always donate food and/or give money to the Thanksgiving food drive. However, this year for some reason, I completely got caught up in my own agenda that I didn’t do what I intended to do. You see, every year at my church we have Harvest Sunday, […]
Gratitude Challenge – I’m Thankful For Insurance
Today I am thankful for insurance. Now before we get into a debate over the current state of affairs, I want to say that this isn’t the case here. I’m here to talk about my experience with having insurance versus not having insurance. I’m not going to talk about the flaws of any system, I’m not going […]
Ebola & How It Affects Your Travels

The global crisis of the Ebola outbreak in West Africa is causing a bit of a panic. How can it not? Ebola death toll rose to over 4000, state senators were trying to stop flights from West […]
Gratitude Challenge – I’m Thankful For Education
I am thankful for my educational path. It wasn’t easy but it certainly is worth it. For starters, I am thankful I have two parents who sacrificed a lot to give me the best education they could. My parents sent me to private schools until I hit college; but before you get all […]
Gratitude Challenge – I Love Amusement Parks
Whew! We’re in the home stretch! This may come as a surprise, but there are MANY things I am thankful for and one of them is: (ready for this?) AMUSEMENT PARKS. I love a good thrill every now and then. I honestly don’t think I’ll ever outgrow these parks. What’s ironic is I’m slightly afraid […]
Gratitude Challenge – I’m Thankful For Music
I am thankful for music. There’s something about a melodic tune that elicits certain responses. I have quite a collection of music on my iPod and I’m always amazed at how certain music fits my mood at a particular moment and how my mood fits certain music that’s playing. Music is also powerful in that […]
Gratitude Challenge – I’m Thankful For Technology
I am thankful for technology. Yes it’s true I was able to survive with much less for some portion of my life, but I have to admit technology (both current and emerging) certainly has made life MUCH easier! Unfortunately, it’s a bit of a double-edged sword because technology can also be our downfall. With the […]
