So this is us 5 years later…Happy Anniversary in heaven Raul. All is well with us as the kids continue to grow and I learn how to do it all without you. My mom told me early on that I would never get over it, however, I would eventually get used to it. I’ve reached that milestone and I’m grateful for that because getting to this place wasn’t so easy. I can finally see a future without the heavy weight of you not being in it. Somehow it all feels lighter now. They say time heals a broken heart…Now it’s time to live and I plan to do just that. My heart is repaired and open to all the possibilities that may come…In the meantime I’m quite busy living life. Raffy & Paloma are keeping me on my toes. They will enter second grade in the fall as they turn 8 years old. They are both growing leaps and bounds in every way possible. They will return from summer sleep away camp this week. I’m looking forward to that as I’ve missed them quite a bit. I’m excited to hear all their stories. They are both coming into their own and they couldn’t be more different. What they have in common is that they are both the good human beings envisioned we would raise. You may not be with them, however, rest assured I’m raising them in a way that would make you proud. They are both quite curious and full of adventure. Never a dull moment for sure. I think of you often. It would be hard not to, living with Paloma, who is so much like you, side eye and all. We feel your presence all around us and we keep the memories of you alive in our hearts. We celebrate you today and everyday. Where ever you are, know that you are loved. Thank you for your continued support. I’ve been getting all of your messages. Keep them coming…Until then we plan to live and take advantage of all this world has to offer until the one day comes that we reunite again. We love you to the moon and back Raul! 🙏❤️ 🌕

What does it mean to be bi-racial? I feel compelled to share my thoughts today as the topic seems to have taken center stage in the news cycle in the past 24 hours. This is NOT a politically motivated post so please don’t try to make it that. I simply want to kick off a healthy discussion that I hope will go viral so that people have a greater understanding. I was born in Boston 53 years ago to a white mother and a black father. It was quite controversial at the time. My own grandparents on both sides were not supportive of my parents union, which by the way has been going strong for 53 years and counting…At the time it wasn’t uncommon to refer to people like myself as mongrels if you can believe that. It was illegal in several states for blacks and whites to marry until 1967 when the landmark case Loving v. Virginia changed that forever. Growing up bi-racial certainly posed its challenges for me. I’ll never forget the days I would sit alone at school lunch while my fellow classmates would throw Oreo cookies at my head while laughing at me because I was half black and half white. That was tough. Today I live my life out loud and proud. I am a human being. I am black. I am white. I am proud to be bi-racial. Regardless of my lighter skin tone let me make clear the fact that I very much feel black. To me being black is not the color of my skin on the outside, rather it’s a feeling I have on the inside. I also feel white. At the same time I feel like a mix of those two races, which in fact is a third race unto itself in my humble opinion. It’s a growing race in our society as many different races are mixing together and creating more and more bi-racial people every day. Don’t you notice the various shades of brown all around us? Get comfortable with it or live an uncomfortable life because there is a tidal wave of bi-racial people being born everyday. Meanwhile I am grateful for my brave parents who were not afraid to take the risk to love one another even though the color of their skin was different and that was once frowned upon. Thank you mom & dad. Look at how far your little mongrel has come…🙏❤️

And just like that we have our first reveal of the Ritz-Carlton Residences, South Beach…located on the oceanfront in Miami Beach with approximately 400 linear feet of beach frontage. There are only 30 residences in this beautiful tower, which offers spectacular views, light and air. The interiors are the best I’ve seen in a very long time and they will for sure redefine beachfront luxury. I can’t wait to share those details with you soon. In the meantime with the Ritz-Carlton brand of you can bet on experiencing service on another level. We’ve been working on this one for quite some time now so I can tell you it’s very special. For more info and to add your name to our list please DM me here.

As reported by the Wall Street Journal this NYC Penthouse last asking $149,000,000 has gone into contract. I’m thrilled for our buyer and happy to have been a part of the team that negotiated this epic deal, which further supports the strength of the luxury real estate market in NYC. Nine figure deals don’t happen that often, however, they have been seeing more traction lately. Stay tuned for more on that. In the meantime a huge congrats to for this one. Amazing work!

{part 1 of 2 posts}

Dear Friends- Thank you for your patience as I have taken the time to collect my thoughts on the recent events that have taken place in Israel and Palestine. My heart is filled with profound sadness for all of the innocent people affected by these atrocities caused by these butchers of hate we know as Hamas.

I have been compelled to reread Eli Wiesel’s acceptance speech of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1986. In that he said: “…And that is why I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Sometimes we must interfere. When human lives are endangered, when human dignity is in jeopardy, national borders and sensitivities become irrelevant. Wherever men or women are persecuted because of their race, religion, or political views, that place must – at that moment – become the center of the universe”. I refuse to be silent any longer so I will let my thoughts be known here.

Let me be clear here. I stand with the innocent people of Israel. I stand against Hamas. I stand with the innocent people of Palestine, who do not support Hamas nor condone hate towards Jewish people. I stand against hate. I stand for Peace. I stand against ignorance. I stand for Love. I stand against the senseless murders carried out by Hamas. I stand for the safety of all the innocent children on both sides of the conflict.

I recently read an Opinion column in the NYT’s written by Nir Avishai Cohen, a major in the reserves of the Israel Defense Forces. This particular quote struck a chord with me: “It is important to me to make it clear that in this already unstoppable new war, we cannot allow the massacre of innocent Israelis to result in the massacre of innocent Palestinians. Israel must remember that there are more than two million people living in the Gaza Strip. The vast majority of them are innocent. Israel must do everything in its power to avoid killing innocent people, and focus on destroying the militant army of Hamas”.
