Exploring Exotic French Sand

Journey through Mauritius

New Year’s 2003 and we were thousands of miles away on an island I have not heard about until only recently. Not even sure how it first came on the radar, especially given we had not been to Hawaii yet. Mauritius is beautiful, with world class accommodations and spectacular beaches. I am told the Seychelles have better beaches. At the time, however, I had just gotten back into international travel post Sept 11 and had been incredibly busy with work back in New York. I wanted to be spoiled. Subsequent to this trip, David and I went to Hawaii a few times and I would say that, dollar for dollar, I would choose Hawaii over Mauritius. A lot closer and just as if not more beautiful. That said, it was great to find this little country few people have heard of and even fewer have visited.

The below photos are some of our favorites. It is actually a bit sad to post them as I looked so much younger then![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/4″][vc_raw_html]

Celebrating You: A Season of Self-Love and Kindness

The holiday season can be a lot. For some, it’s full of joy and celebrations, while for others, it can feel overwhelming—whether it’s the pressure of year-end deadlines, missing loved ones, or just struggling to connect with the holiday spirit. In my latest blog, I’m focusing on ways to take care of *you*. From enjoying your favorite foods to stepping away from social media or taking yourself out for a quiet moment of peace, sometimes the best gift you can give is the gift of time and care for yourself. It’s also a chance to share kindness with others, even in small ways, which can make a bigger impact than you realize. Wherever this season finds you, I hope the blog offers a little inspiration to make the holidays feel more manageable—and meaningful—in your own way.

Finding Common Ground: Bridging Divides in a Polarized World

Our beliefs and perspectives evolve over time, shaped by our experiences and the changing world around us. This evolution is why open, constructive conversations—especially about divisive topics—are so critical. They allow us to explore our assumptions, challenge our thinking, and grow together, even when we disagree.

Today, I want to explore the concept of the slippery slope—a fear that often emerges in debates about rights and regulations. It’s a concern that touches on issues as varied as gun control, LGBTQ+ rights, and abortion, though people often apply it inconsistently.
