  Rendezvous

  I believe every person craves connection and enlightenment in their life. If Maslow is to be believed self actualization is our highest priority. Whether that comes via a great book or play, a wonderful glass of wine, a stop you in your tracks piece of art or home decor, a memorable meal, an adventure in a new city or a giving moment, we all want to create memories that transcend the mundane. My blog is named for a Countee Cullen poem because I believe what all people crave is a rendezvous with life. In my blog I want to capture moments that allow us to stop and savor our lives and build moments that become memories. My blog will cover the arts, travel, home décor, food and wine, culture, philanthropy and daily life events elevated to unforgettable experiences. The blog is designed to allow readers to stop, reflect and focus on things that make them happy and allow them to rendezvous with their own lives.
