This right here is the black sand beach is one of my favorite places on earth. I will also say it's my favorite beach on earth. The sound the ocean makes on these black volcanic rocks is so relaxing. I should add a video I took of the sound too. Let me add that.

“The leaves themselves had voices, soft ones. They brushed and stroked against one another, and nodded and bowed and rippled and rustled, their interleaving gently stirred by the breeze. It sounded like whispered conversation.”

🎶I was just coastin', never really goin' anywhere
Caught up in a web
I was gettin' kind of used to stayin' there
And out of the blue
I fell for you
Now you're liftin' me up, 'stead of holdin' me down
Stealin' my heart, 'stead of stealin' my crown

“I want you to try and remember what it was like to have been very young. And particularly the days when you were first in love; when you were like a person sleepwalking, and you didn’t quite see the street you were in, and didn’t quite hear everything that was said to you.

"A surprisingly effective way to get what you want is to not settle for less than what you want.

It doesn't always work—you can't force the world to be a certain way—and you may need patience and doggedness, but your life bends toward what you accept."

[ASHER GARDNER @ashergardner]

It's hard to believe, but later this summer, I'll be back in Italy! I could pinch myself I'm so excited. ✈️

For my first few weddings of the year, I've traveled all around the New York area, from down in South Jersey all the way up state. It's made me realize how much I've missed exploring this incredible part of the country that we get to call home.

I've been to some incredible places around the world, but I don't know if there's anything more beautiful than a summer day in New York City.
