OPEN MINDFUL

Greetings from a library on Madison Avenue in New York City. In this fast paced, immensely and densely populated urban mecca, one is bound to inevitably engage in conversation. It is possible to go a day without physically talking to another human, yet this may not suit one's personality. What do you like to talk and converse about? What are your favorite stories, topics, industries, and outlets for discussion? Do you mind talking about yourself? Or, are your more interested in others? Personally, am proud of certain elements and life accomplishments achieved at youthful ages, thus far. Often, enjoy sharing them. For example, my southern Texan pride and mantras. Also, stories from being a guest attendant at www.hotelgansevoort.com in the Meatpacking District of New York City. Modeling on behalf of www.abercrombie.com in Manhattan, and so forth.........www.linkedin.com/in/georgevance... Yet, personal bios aside, believe being topical and "in the moment" may be the best wa...

It's like a page is immediately turned in the human and emotional psyche when Friday, after 5 pm hits. Isn't that true?? It's like you can feel the masses, people, businesses, workers, and environment ease up and prepare for the fun, and mix up. Do you sense this change in the overall aura as well? The physical wear and tear of the work week, concludes and thus permits the weekend. A time for it's constituents to roam loose. A mini-vacation, a hiatus if you will, from the jobs, and duties that support their lives and individual lifestyles. For example, here in New York City and Manhattan, people are more casual. They walk more freely. Their attitudes passe and non inhibiting. A more welcoming, peaceful, carefree demeanor. While passing through Central Park, watched runners, couples, park "athletes", and tourists enjoy the slightly warmer temperatures and hopefulness of spring. I am glad our American society has created THE WEEKEND , and feel we are ALL better ...

Ahhh...The winter time and season is upon us in Manhattan. Are you a fan? Adversary? Does your city and region of the world experience this, courtesy of mother earth and our galaxy?? For me, like most items in life feel winter is a mixed bag. By no means, am I a doctor or scientist, yet somehow think the crisp, cool air is refreshing, while the limited sunlight is healthy and preserves our skin. Each person carries their own opinion. One individual's PERFECT weather may contrast distinctivelty with others. Individually, we each view the world, and its weather patterns and seasons differently. The phrase "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" comes to mind. Yet I would translate this to "the perfect weather and season is in the eye of the beholder." I've joked recently with a few fellow New York City residents and those outside of our busy, competitive, diverse streets, that the winter season was self created by the fashion and retail companies, in order for ...

Energy? Human Energy? Where do we get it from? It is internal? Why is sleep required for our bodies and natural well being? Isn't it enjoyable? As the continuation of daily life in New York City and the Big Apple inches along, am realizing how valuable of a commodity energy is. I believe it is healthy and better fron oneself to get the proper amount of rest. Your brain functions, and you most probably look and feel better. Thus, each new action is improved and enhanced? Agree? In this environment of caffeine, people walking right past each other, subways whizzing us from neighborhood to neighborhood, sometimes I long for the peace and tranquility where constant energy is not a necessity. Perhaps a city, island, rural area, or spot in the world, where idleness, peace and normalcy is viewed as desirable. On a personal note, have started a new opportunity with www.bluestarjets.com as a consultant, agent and contributor to the company. Check out the website and information if you would...

Recently this past weekend, was the Pride Parade and celebration in the city. This barrage of people, eccentric characters, and lifestyles is a unique culture and segment of our society. The neighborhoods of Chelsea and the West Village were inundated with people, barricades,activity and more. It seems as though everyone participated, whether they were gay, straight or whatever. True, Open Mindedness. In a discussion with a fellow human, in the evening we discussed the gay rights and advancements in our society, world and culture. He seemed to feel as though there was not as much equality and progress made as there should be. I agreed, with him that it is valid issue, modern and prevalent topic in our society. In so far as it's progress, reminded him that yes, The United States is a free country, with liberty and justice for all. We both agreed, amongst other numerous wonderful reasons, this freedom makes America great and attractive to foreigners as well. I suggested and correlat...
