Happy 2024!

Happy New Year!!!!

Fun Fact: These are the actual numbers displayed under the NYE ball in Times Square!

2023 was a chaotic year to say the least with many ups and downs - from a 6 day hospital stay & dating debacles to 3 international trips across 6 countries & good times with amazing friends! 🙃

It’s always good to remember and appreciate all the experiences you have, the good and the bad.

Hope everyone has an amazing 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣4️⃣ filled with lots of joy, love, happiness, prosperity and good health! 🎉

Happy 2022!

HAPPY NEW YEAR! 🎉

I am excited for 2022 and what the new year will bring! I hope everyone has an amazing 2022!

Fun Fact: These are the actual numbers displayed with the NYE ball in Times Square!

My New Year Resolutions this year are:

  • Reconnect & keep in better touch with friends and acquaintances

  • Take risks - keep an open mind when it comes to trying new things

  • No Regrets - don’t hold back!

  • Be true to myself

What are your resolutions for 2022?

As Macklemore said in his new song, which is also going to be my anthem for 2022,

“Next year’s gonna be better than last year!”

2021 was a tough year, but rather than viewing all the tragedy & hardships as problems, let’s look for the silver linings & turn them into opportunities! ✨ Where there are endings there are new beginnings!

Cheers to 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣2️⃣! 🥂

Up Close & Personal with the Times Square NYE Ball!

As 2018 comes to an end, one of my favorite ways to ring in the new year is to watch the NYE ball drop in Times Square.

This year, I had the pleasure of getting up close and personal with the Waterford Crystal ball that drops every year on NYE at One Times Square!

Check out my interview with Waterford Crystal’s Tom Brennan, who was the lead in designing the amazing ball that is seen across the world on New Year’s Eve!

Fun Facts:

The Waterford Ball is:

  • Illuminated by 32,256 LED lights

  • 12 feet in diameter and weighs 11,875 pounds

  • 2,688 Waterford Crystal triangles are bolted to 672 LED modules, attached to the frame of the ball

Surprisingly the ball was only located a few flights up from the 21st floor. However, this did not take away any of the allure or grandeur of the Waterford Ball. It is just phenomenal up close!
