I lived in NY State for over a decade.

And just over 7 full years in NYC, there is something so special about the holidays in Manhattan.

Thankfully Instagrammers and content creators are allowing me yo live through their visuals vicariously this week.

This is the last hotel I stayed at in NYC. November 2019, with my love @risewithravi

I am nostalgic for lights, huge tree lighting ceremonies, those massive red ornaments in the fountain uptown 🎁🎁🎁 and those Holiday window displays. And little hotel rooms with big views.

@nyhiltonmidtown thanks for the memories. And those gorgeous canopy beds!

Happy Holidays & New Year! 🌲

LIVING IN THAILAND 🇹🇭

In case, you didn’t know I have been living in Thailand for just over one year now.

Mostly on a magical island in the South called Koh Pha-Ngan.

It’s a place that used to be filled with tourists for Full Moon Parties (and Half Moon parties and any excuse to party 🎉). Mostly budget backpacker, hostel-staying type travelers.

But the border of Thailand were sealed from tourist until this month on November 1st. You could not get in and out of Thailand for the past two years, it’s been extremely strict and tons of paperwork. Not to mention pricey 14-day hotel quarantines. The only exceptions have been citizens & their families or those working or already holding long-term visas for Thailand.

One month open to tourism. Still VERY QUIET. And the locals are getting excited for ‘high season’ which I don’t think will look the same as pre-pandemic times. But now the lovely open-air, massage spots on the beach are all open! And usually have 2-3 ladies working, instead of one if I was lucky.

One thing to note about living in Thailand, its compulsory to get massages. Lots of them. As frequently as you desire!

It is rainy season here right ☔️
Monsoon-style
But we’ve had a few nice days, and I got a beach-side massage during the pretty-clear sunset. With the sounds of perfect waves just feet away.

Feeling into sharing more peeks like this into my life here and the experiences on the island. Would that be interesting to ya’ll? Pop a comment below.

Also if you have any questions about travel to Thailand right now or exciting things to experience on this magical island. 🏝 I’d love to share more.

Reflections

As I get older, I realize I don’t what I don’t know. And as I approach another birthday next week, I am peeling back the layers more and more each day.

Cue tears 😭 and resistance 😆

I am seeing how my old habits die hard. AND this can also be the last year that they control me.

These aren’t errors in my ways.
I am not wrong or bad.
And these reactions and ways of being just don’t make the cut to continue.

Ready for full upgrades.
These elements of myself that stuck around, but never had any business being apart of me.

Evaporating.
Dissolving.
Revealing a lighter & happier me.
With lighter & happier relationships and life.

😁

NETFLIX & INSPIRED

Over the past year or so, in the COVID flow, I have watched the least amount of movies, TV and Netflix of my life.

I know this is the exact opposite of most of the planet. 😆

But very recently, indulged and explored what was being served up on @netflix and discovered Motel Makeover. Ahhh so addicting & the exact inspiration I was craving. Instagrammable motel renovations! Yes please.

@thejunemotel ‘s team, ideation, implementation and ultimately triumph during a dark time for hospitality.

AKA I highly recommend it. It’s not just entertainment but real life business-owner grit and interior design fun 🤩

Spoiler Alert: Both properties they own and depend on income SEASONALLY for could not open last year and they took a huge financial hit. And they kept going. They pivoted and improvised. They did whatever it took to keep their dream alive.

If you love a great entrepreneur story, design, tourism, makeover shows, its all there. And the two founders are adorable & sweet.

Grateful that inspiring content (not fear and nervous system activation) is still cool and being created.

Curious about what’s been inspiring your life? Your business? Your travel dreams lately?
