What we do isn’t easy, but we do make an effort to make it seem, well, effortless. A good doctor doesn’t need to tell everyone how difficult medical science is. Why? Because everyone has seen at least one episode of House.

This is the salon from the Sloan Estate at 61 Lisburne in Garrison, NY. Set on nearly 17 acres, it has been restored and is also now LEED certified. The house comprises 11,800 sf (that does not include the sprawling attic level and cellar levels. It also has a gorgeous carriage house that can be transformed into additional guest and staff quarters. For me, the jewel though is the combination of the ruins and the old swimming pool, reminiscent of Hadrian’s Villa in Tívoli.

Since @ryanserhant let the cat out of the bag, I’m posting a little earlier than expected. I am humbled and grateful. Thanks for your faith in me. Thanks for the friendship. We’ve only just begun, and I can’t wait to see how much higher we’ll soar and all the places we’ll go.

April was a blessing, and indeed I am learning not just to relish the challenges but also to celebrate my accomplishments. It’s been a mind blowing month I couldn’t have done without the help of those here and in heaven who root for me and miracles. :-)

Special shout out and gratitude to two of my biggest believers: @kenmoorenyc @ryanserhant

Looking for a different perspective on earth day. I usually post the ocean or foliage. This is a first. A view from the sky. I took this as we passed the Alps. Protect our home—not just for us but for its future tenants. We don’t own the earth, we’re just short term renters. #earthday

Happy 2775th Birthday to the city I’ve been head over heels in love with: the Eternal City, Rome. All right, the truth is I ❤️ NY and I ❤️ Paris, too. But the spirit of Roma is so profound, it tugs deep in my soul. Its every street speaks to me like old friends and childhood memories.

It says a lot when politicians can say with a straight face that they find you qualified, personable, competent, and just…but they nevertheless will vote no because their racist and bigoted supporters won’t elect them or contribute to their campaign or like their twitter post. (I only wish KBJ were LGBTQ+ too. I think heads would have exploded on that side of the aisle.) Nevertheless, a win is a win. Congratulations to Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, and congratulations to all of us for taking a step closer to a more perfect Union.

I think one of the toughest jobs in the world is to be Secretary of State. As a broker, I know how difficult it is to bring together opposing parties, to keep cool and calm when emotions including yours are running high, and to stand firm and strong when someone is trying to bully and intimidate you. It is nearly impossible to see the long game when everything else in the world provides instant results and gratification, or when you simply just want to cut the bait and call it a day. But to be doing that as you travel and be a spokesperson for the President and a nation, that’s a whole other level. To be a woman in the world of men, most of whom see you as inferior, is unimaginable. You have to be the smartest person in the room, the quickest thinker, the strongest, the most skillful. The President in some ways can pivot far better than the person who is sent to deal with crises. They are effectively chief of the diplomatic bomb squad. Madame Albright is, for me, the best example of women all misogynists, narcissists, and the ilk despise. She was a great, strong woman who lived a great life in service of her country.

I grew up admiring Foreign Secretaries/Secretaries of State. The best of them always see the best in humanity. They have to.

Park Avenue Vision

From my new listing, I call this the “Chamber of Secrets.” It leads to several hidden doors to different rooms. It also reminds me of the shape of the fountain in the girls’ washroom in Harry Potter. I am so excited for the potential this listing offers to the new buyer. Imagine the possibilities!

Aggression is aggression.
Bullies love to play the victim.
When narcissists feel insecure,
they attack to give the
illusion of power.

A few rules I’ve learned in life-if not for the sake of peace
but for self-preservation:
Don’t negotiate with terrorists.
Don’t negotiate with bullies.
Let their insecurities drive them
mad—to destruction, to extinction.
Don’t give in.
Play the long game.

It’s been a while, but here’s another moment. This is a very New York hallway. But in some ways it reminds me of the narrow streets in Trastevere and the very narrow streets of Venice, too. Tall walls that seem endless compel me to move forward, to find what’s around the corner. I love hallways and I love narrow alleys for the promise of a story around the bend. Like life.

Second drop from my new black and white self portrait series called, “I See Me”. These are all taken from my old iPhone 1) to prove that photography is less about equipment, more about the moment 2) hence setting up any of my professional equipment would kill spontaneity of such.

When I photograph for the magazine, I see in my subjects something they often don’t see in themselves. This series is a self-reflective exercise. Who am I to me?

A little over five years ago, I lost my writing voice. Few will understand what this means. It’s like a dancer that loses rhythm, a singer who struggles to hit a note, a musician who cannot make his instrument sing, or a sculptor who no longer sees figures from a stone. It’s been an unending blank canvas, a long deafening silence. Until today.

Tonight I begin the journey, the quest to share my innermost thoughts with whomever wants to come along. We’re going back to the beginning of Classiques Modernes, when I wrote about things that mattered to me. It was when the magazine was at its strongest because its intent was pure, its purpose clear: to find ways to connect with people and to share with them something of value. Not content for content’s worth, but content of substance. Content that nourishes.

I’ve entitled the new blog series, “No One Listen!” I hope some of what I write resonates with you. Check the link-in-bio later this evening for the first post.
