My Daily Inspiration: The Brevity, Compassion & Support

-
It must be the Spring, or the fact that there are so many people around me getting hitched, engaged and, some even - married. It must be the Spring, it must!

Spring is a wonderful season - when it's the real Spring, and not what the New Yorkers had in March, which felt more like late fall slash winter. But now when it's warmer and people are out and about the city, wearing less clothing and more heels and accessories, the feel of the Spring sun, warmer breeze from Hudson, the scent of the tulips that seem to become a choice of the Spring flowers this season, the tree blossoms of all kinds and longer days inspire to be inspired.

This said, I'm being inspired daily, and I'd like to share with you what inspires me today. And it's not about fashion, arts, or fitness, it is more about the people...

The brevity of Boston residents - from younger to older - the Bostonians, who survived the horrendous terrorist attack yesterday. Those, who are now helping the others who weren't as lucky. 

Kudos to everyone in Boston and to those around the world who expressed their support for the injured  innocent people and for those, who died. 

Kudos to those who have been donating blood to help the injured. 

Kudos to everyone, who spent at least a few minutes in silence to pay the tribute to the ones who have suffered the lost.

This is not the best time for everyone in America, because when one city hurts, it's like a nerve that runs through the whole body being pinched in one place, but aches in so many other places. It hurts us all, because we are as vulnerable as the Bostonians were.

New Yorkers have been taking precautions, but that does not stop them from taking the public transportation and visiting the overcrowded areas of the city, because there are not as many choices available for the alternatives, when one lives in such a big city as NYC.

Small Town Profile: The Texan Style

  It's been my fifth year in a row spending Christmas in College Station, Texas - a town that I would have never thought I'd end up going to more than I do to any other places in the world. [How many times I wished my parents settled in places like Paris, London, Florence, Split, Berlin, or at least - in San Francisco and/or Washington, DC - the places that I'd be more than happy to visit them at more often!] So, it's a true battle when the holidays or vacation times come - to go visit my parents in Texas or to go to Paris, Amsterdam or Tokyo - or places I've never visited before? - a battle that I often loose in favor of my parents, and, thus - in favor of the little Texan town, College Station...

The spring is almost here, which means - soon-to-be-packed and stored away winter boots are in much need to be replaced with the next sexy-thing on the shoe markets. And not just replaced with any shoes, but with the shoes that make a statement. That is - a  big city kind of statement. These should be the ultimate shoes for both a stylish day and night out on a city. Here's what I call statement shoes perfect for many reasons, including for the reasons appreciate a good piece of art, nature and sexiness in the details:

My Travels: Vermont In Night And Day

OK, here's why I'm not gonna post much this weekend - I'm trying to get the last of what's left of the winter. I'm hitting the slops up in Vermont: one day of skiing at the Killington, VT - today, and tomorrow - it's Stratton, VT . I'm excited about both, especially because I don't get to go skiing often, first of all. Second of all - as I got older, I realized that I'm not really a 'winter sports' person, I'm more of a summer sports person. I prefer to be out in the sun in shorts, rollerblading, playing beach volleyball and/or tennis, or going for a jog and/or a bike ride. That's said, I am , actually, excited for this snowy weekend, but mostly because... The huge part of my excitement lays within the fact that aside from skiing, I'm spending this weekend with my friends at a beautiful house with a fire place in the middle of the woods. And waking up to a smell of freshly brewed coffee and a view to die for - i
