A number of years ago when I lived in New York City's SoHo, I met a beautiful creative woman, Danielle Nazinitsky, who put together fun community events in the area, in a similar but different way than I was at the time. I had been creating collaborative events with Artists, Designers, small business owners, restaurants, galleries, performers, Filmmakers, Writers and Actors, and she was bringing people around to different events on tours and meetings at galleries and in creative spaces. We connected on so many creative levels and one of the ways that I remember her the most was the fun and joy and generosity of spirit that she brought into every place she was.
A few weeks ago I received an email from her that she was hosting a luncheon and panel for creatives at what was described as a Design-rich loft in Dumbo, featuring women in a variety of different fields who were all juggling families and careers, motherhood and their creative lives. She titled it along the lines of having it all, and when I saw the description and name of this event and that she was hosting it, I knew I had to go. With everything that's been happening and so many things going on, an afternoon like this seemed like just the kind of joy filled time of inspiration and togetherness that I needed.
When wonderful spirits like Danielle bring people together, the combination of beautiful environments, creative inspiration, fun, and very heart felt, meaningful conversation make what could be just a nice time together into something memorable and life affirming. I'm so grateful to have known Danielle all these years and to have the opportunity to attend an event like this one that brought us together in community and reminded us that our neighborhoods are special because of the people around us who create and make times like this possible for all of us to enjoy.
