Happy New Year 2014 !!!!!

This New Year brings a blank page for new experiences; places to visit, people to meet, goals to reach, and positions to try with my significant other. It was a wonderful 2013 moments with friends and families that are unforgettable. I did a lot of personal reflecting, closed the door to several toxic "friendships" and opened the door to real friendships with people who are genuinely interested in developing mutually benefiting relationships. The biggest lesson learned in 2013 "Let go of the baggage and the journey gets better".
I have faith that my relationships whether romantic or otherwise will be full of beautiful experiences.

With that said I wish you dear reader a 2014 full of abundance and love, may your wettest dreams come true.   

Romance in the Big Apple

Yes there are plenty of romantic places in New York City aka The Big Apple. With those places the people, the smells and sounds add to the romance. For example you can watch an action packed movie in the movie theater with your significant other and when you walk outdoors the action is right at your feet you are both in the action together. You can watch a Broadway Play in Midtown or head a little further uptown and watch an Opera or Ballet, live drama always arouses my senses. And if you are feeling like being more in touch with nature head to Central Park, grab a warm pretzel and stroll this beautiful park by yourself or with that special someone. Even better for a quite stroll with a view of the Hudson River, head to Washington Heights and walk on Riverside Drive. No matter what you are looking for The Big Apple offers something for everyone when it comes to romance.
