---FIRST IMPRESSIONS ARE EVERYTHING----

Israel comes to NYC!

AROMA Espresso bar became the first espresso bar in Israel when it opened its first coffee shop in Jerusalem in 1994. Today Aroma has dozens of branches throughout Israel, as well as in the US, Canada, and Ukraine.

"Life is a journey...with different landscapes and different people coming in and out...enjoy the ride."-Diane von Furstenberg

Nothing will be of any use to you unless you have the capacity within yourself to know it and accept it.

MADISON SQ MARKET

We stumbled out of Eataly to find this refuge in a concrete city. The market is a well curated selection of good eats in the city. There is something for everyone....

I finally tried Wafels and Dinges (must get the special sauce- speculoos). Also shared a green focaccia with pesto bufala mozzarella from Piccolo a slice with artichoke, mushrooms, ricotta & gorgonzola from Roberta's pizza....last some pretzels from Sigmund.

All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think, we become.

Unless you’ve been living in a cave, you couldn’t miss today’s date. Its 10.10.10 – a rare day that’s special to everyone simply because of its numbers and occurrence. There are reports that astronomers have predicted the day to be lucky, especially for those who’re born today.

Happiness is not an end goal, it is a self enrichment that grows as you go through life...

In 1967, pop artist Robert Indiana produced his now-iconic LOVE sculpture, which has been installed in dozens of places around the world, mostly in English but also in Hebrew and Italian.

Here is the original, in New York City:

The Empire State Building is again the tallest building in New York City

Friendship is for life. It involves an exercise of choice not compulsion. This is what makes it the purest of all relationships. However, you must choose your friends carefully. And cherish and nurture the friendship for a lifetime. It is not difficult to find friends. The tough part is to honor the friendship.

It is not length of life, but depth of life.

Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.

There are only two tragedies in life: one is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it.

happiness can't be found in contemplating the past or the future, its found by being fully in the present

Excellence is not an act, but a habit.

At some point, you have to make a decision. Boundaries don’t keep other people out. They fence you in. Life is messy. That’s how we’re made. So, you can waste your lives drawing lines. Or you can live your life crossing them. But there are some lines… that are way too dangerous to cross.

all things come to he who waits
