Close to Home
Hope you had a wonderful long, luxurious 4th of July weekend. It seems like a lot of people opted to stay close to home this year. I noticed the interesting trend as I navigated some local towns and saw parking spaces, normally vacant during a holiday weekend, conspicuously occupied. Friends were home and invited us over for an amazing meal not once, not twice, but three times for a bar-b-que or two and a late afternoon supper. Each meal was spectacular and it was wonderful spending unhurried time with them.
These are the joys of summer. And staying close to home is also a joy. Think about it. When do you really have the time to saunter down a city street and notice the architecture, the new shops that have opened, or miss the ones that closed?
When do you actually have a shot at having weekend brunch at a place that usually has lines wrapped around the block? When can you finagle the time to take a ride just a half hour away to a farm for fresh produce and home made pie?
No need to leave. It's all right here.
And while you are staying put, how about participating in an empowering event that will no doubt prompt terrific networking as well?
Coming up on Saturday July 16th, the day long Alycia Kaback's NYC Women's Empowerment Summit will take place in lower Manhattan.
Tickets start at $45, with different ticket prices and levels, and attendance is limited to only 100 people, with proceeds going to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
I will be one of the speakers at this fun and inspirational event. Take a look at the others who will be speaking and maybe you too will choose to stay put next weekend, and come down to this summit.
If you do, please be sure to find me and tell me that you read about it in The Three Tomatoes.
