Vibrant, alive, thrilling, ethnically diverse, hip, and just an incredibly UNIQUE place. A city of endless possibilities. The city that never sleepsπŸ—½ . . Incredibly grateful to be here at this point in my life πŸ™πŸΌ. In so many ways, #2019 has been the absolute BEST YEAR of my life yet! THANK YOU for having molded me, pushed me, turned me upside down, and uplifted me into the person I am today, New York πŸ₯ŠπŸ¦‹πŸ—½ . . #NYC #newyorkcity #thebigapple #benefitdinner #gala . . β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” I have spent a lot of time in London πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§, Paris πŸ‡«πŸ‡·, Saigon πŸ‡»πŸ‡³ and Singapore πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡¬, some of the world’s most vibrant cities. But New York has a MAGIC-al energy to it πŸ’« . . The compactness of this concrete jungle πŸ™(thank you, subway!) β€”together with 8.5 million ambitious, inspiring HUMAN beings from all over the world β€” creates a magical mix of ENERGY & endless possibilities. . . In a single day, I can wake up and #DANCE my butt off at a dybrkr morning rooftop party to kick off the day with intention πŸ™ŒπŸΌ, go to work at my office in SoHo πŸ‘¨πŸ»β€πŸ’», then do a lunchtime #BOXING πŸ₯Š class at my gym #risebywe. . . After work, in the evening I would attend an art benefit event by the whitneymuseum πŸ–Ό or host a 10nexus dinner party πŸ’–. . . And sometimes the very best moments of the day happen unplanned. The SERENDIPITY of it all. Bumping into a friend I’ve always wanted to catch up with πŸ₯°, a random act of KINDNESS by strangers πŸ’–, making a NEW FRIEND at the gym πŸ’ͺ🏼, and going on spontaneous ADVENTURES πŸ™ŒπŸΌ . . Does anyone else feel the same way about New York πŸ—½? Or what do you love most about where you live? . . Feel free to share below ⬇️.
