I like to travel to St. Barths in the off season when I can take advantage of the island without the crowds.

Visiting my Sister Sherry and my Brother-in-law Nader in East Hampton is always good for my soul! The serene beaches, stunning nature paths and fresh air realign my body.

After a rigorous workout with my sister Sherry I had to head to Goldberg’s for a toasted poppy bagel with chive cream cheese. Life is short and one must enjoy good food.
