I had the pleasure of shooting Pipeline Fellowship's 2012 Conference on Angel Investing from the offices of Goodwin Proctor. I'll post more about them soon, but until then, here's what the view from the 26th Floor looks like.

My grandfather passed away in late January and although the circumstances were awful, reuniting with family is always a silver lining. Big hug to my Floridian fam and tough as nails Abuelita.

A lot of stuff went down one particular Saturday in January.

Thank you to everyone who played this little game and helped to create a fun visual record of what this day in time brought for us.

My Mexico

Erica — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 21:53:06 +0000

Today I had a nap dream that I went back to Lazaro Cardenas in Baja California, Mexico and my Spanish and 15 passenger van driving was perfect.* That's probably because I've been going through my photos of our December trip to share with you. I've picked 100 that I hope will show the spirit OSH creates on these house building trips, as well as the landscape of the community there. There are so many folds and creases of that town that I missed on just a week-long trip, but maybe you'll join a build and explore it for yourself some day. :)

You can see more photos on my Gallery page here.

Where are you this day in time?

I'm calling all friends and strangers to take a photo today to share with me and my viewers. Life is about people and your relationships and I'd like to start 2012 off with seeing what you see. Please take a photo today, 1/14/12, and email it to me at shinyerica@gmail.com. Include a caption and location so we can tell what we're looking at.

By doing so you give me permission to post your photo on shinyerica.com, as part of what will be a great collection of glimpses of this day in time.

I'll be honored if you share a little bit of yourself with me.

Lots of Love,

Shiny Erica

OSH Dessert Party

Erica — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 03:28:50 +0000

Long time friends of One Small House, Doug and Kevin, opened up their gorgeous home in Brooklyn to host a fundraiser dessert party. With a plethora of tasty goodness, adorable puppies, and supportive friends and family, it was a beautiful afternoon. It was awesome to hear the founder, Rob Katz, share an overview of all that's been accomplished this past year. I feel blessed to have been a part of it and and look forward to what's ahead. :)

Rainbow trees do something special to my heartstrings.

Seis Maestros

The lovely mother-son power duo that is Artist of the Americas had an art show featuring 6 master painters from Cuba. The work was beautiful and I found what I'd like to look like in 50 years.

This happened. We celebrated Joey Steele's 28th birthday at Medieval Times with scores of other birthday boys and girls ranging in ages from 8 to 40. I guess we're all a little weird at any age.
