OPEN MINDFUL

Well, the days in New York City continue to hum along. In addition, the pace grows as the SUN starts to shed its face and fall upon the masses. It is fantastic! There are times, when the scenery almost takes my breath away. Sometimes, it has the power to literally stop me in my tracks and cause a head to be turned. Recently, provided some temporary help and work to a New York City firm. We held an international conference at the Sheraton Hotel on 53rd and 7th. In my opinion it was elegant and positive. We were "people brokers" and helped introduce established and wonderful companies to potential financial "buyers" for their stock and firms. Although there could have been more attendees, overall is was a beneficial and enjoyable time. I recently played as host to a new friend from Montreal. She was a welcoming blend of French, European and American culture, rolled into one bundle of joy and happiness. As a southern boy-man, hospitality, courtesy and friendliness come...

The energy continues to amaze, as the weather warms up and the spring season settles in. People continue to cruise the streets with a happier and more joyful bounce to their step. The sunshine, diversity and plethora of shopping, dining, and living options is boundless. Each neighborhood has its own unique feel. Recently while being out and about caught eyes and ran into a previous girlfriend from Russia. She invited me to sit with her and her friend.

As the evening advanced, I cruised 3rd avenue, and witnessed the bountiful amount of people, different restaurants and places. The east side was similar, yet just a fun as the west side.

Hello all, good evening and well being. Today was an enjoyable venture and romp through "Modern Day Rome" aka New York City. The diversity, pace, culture and international flavors continue to amaze me. I am impressed and welcome by the city's urban environment . Yet, also find peace in the parks, and also the West side Highway. For example, today I enjoyed a healthy salad at Whole Foods in Columbus Circle, next sat on the rocks in Central Park, and listened to foreign girls discuss the news in Northern Europe. This was followed by a brief skip down 5 th Avenue, to a favorite, H&M. The model advertisements, variety, price, music, clientele and all make it one of my favorite retail experiences . Tonight plan to have relaxing evening and enjoy the apt and break from the action.
