Living in a Small and Peaceful Little Town

I feel lucky to live in a small and convenient small town. It is near the metropolis of Tallahassee, Florida, but is only miles from there and the gulf coast. If you are a writer, artist or just love nature, this is a great place to live. Nature and water are everywhere, but the town of Crawfordville is laid out, very conveniently.
 Getting around by car, bike, walking, or golf cart can all be done here, effortlessly, and we have many name brand stores to shop. Many original restaurants and shops are also here giving it a unique feel. If you need the big city connection it is only minutes away by car. I feel fortunate to live in this beautiful little town, and never feeling stuck.

Vanity Fair, Art Basel and Miami Beach

I have always wanted to attend the big art event called Art Basel located in glamorous Miami Beach since hearing about it. Well I finally got a chance to go to this international art event and experience everything it brings to this beautiful part of the world. This event is only held in  two other cities around the world so it was exciting getting an "invite only" from Vanity Fair!

Vanity Fair is a magazine my family has had a subscription  for years and has some of the best written articles about contemporary life and style. It was really exciting attending the Vanity Fair Social Club held at the historic Wolfsonian-FIU world class art museum. This event was for social and entertainment influencers. The speakers at the event were absolutely fabulous.


The three lady speakers understand the significance of social media and use it effectively to market their products and services. Style is something Vanity Fair has been using for years to influence the world and now there is a whole new interactive way to do it. Style is something that is developed and not so much stated in today's fast paced world and the influence of social media on all subjects is very powerful. By evening this place turned into a big party and I really didn't want to leave.





Of course just being in the Art Deco South Beach area was amazing seeing the historic hotels made me feel like I was going to bump into somebody famous. We rounded the corner of the Versace house and almost got ran over by the Paparazzi as two entertainers made their way out of this noted place.

I wish I could have seen more of Art Basel but will have to wait till next year. Thanks to my wife and Vanity Fair Social Club for inviting me!
