Forecast: Clear

 

On a clear day
Rise and look around you
And you'll see who you are

On a clear day
How it will astound you
That the glow of your being
Outshines every star

You'll feel part of every mountain,
Sea and shore
You can hear
From far and near
A world you've never, never heard before

And on a clear day
On a clear day
You can see forever
And ever
And ever
And ever more

Don’t forget. You are divine <3

And The Grammy Goes To...

 

…My incredible collaborator and friend Steven Feifke! You may recognize him from my East Of The Sun video (below) which he made the most beautiful arrangement for, and is playing piano on.
He also arranged and played on my recording of Fly Me To The Moon (below).
Steven just won for his album with Bijon Watson and Generation Gap Jazz Orchestra.
It’s deeply moving to see someone with such dedication and love of craft achieve a huge milestone like this.
To me, the award is a symbol of the commitment to, and the unwavering trust in, the flow of the pure creative force.
Congratulations Steven! The first of many!

Hiking Breakneck Ridge

 

Just came back from a very relaxing hike in upstate New York. I hiked the Breakneck Ridge trail for the first time with one of my best friends last year. Missed it so much I decided to do it again this week. My friend is abroad so I decided to hike solo, but it turns out there were so many other hikers out this weekend so I definitely wasn’t alone.

If you want to hike the longest trail loop, the one that goes all the way from Breakneck Ridge to Coldspring, I recommend taking an Amtrak train to Breakneck Station. If you do so, you can hike to Coldspring Village, have a meal, and then take the train back from Coldspring station without worries of having to go back and get your car. The Breakneck Ridge trail starts off extremely steep, pictured above.

I stopped at Hudson House River Inn (2 Main Street) in Coldspring for a delicious portobello-mushroom veggie burger before returning to the city.
Wishing you a wonderful fall-season,

Best Hot Chocolate in New York

 

It’s autumn in New York! One of my favorite things to do as soon as the temperature drops is to enjoy a delicious cup of hot chocolate from Saint Ambroeuse. It’s the best! Also recommend the hot chocolate from my other favorite, Angelina, which you can order in an iced version, as well.
Enjoy if you are lucky enough to be here,
or lucky enough to visit in the future!
Fall in New York really is magical.
Love,
Seena
