#accidentallywithpurpose

Allow me to introduce you to Sophie Chiche. When @derekcardoza introduced us over lunch in West Hollywood I figured I was going to meet just another strong 💪 minded tough entrepreneur. Grateful for the intro as I love to hear people’s personal stories. I didn’t really forecast what was to come. What I learned over the next two hours and how I felt during and after it was truly a magical experience. Sophie ... much more than the owner and creator of my absolute favorite spot next to (not 2nd to but next to) @SoulCycle has been the @shapehouse for the past year. Of course I stumbled upon it by accident. SoulCycle was booked the morning I got off my flight from Oakland into Burbank so I googled detox - Sweat 😓 and I don’t recall what else. But I downloaded the app and booked an appoint for 830 AM and directed my driver to Shape House on Larchmont. From then I was absolutely HOOKED. It’s the only place I can truly unplug..... Sophie is N incredible person. We connected deep down at the soul level. We will work together in some capacity even if it’s just helping her with her documentary or Book that’s coming soon. It was more then I expected. A very cool connecting. Again ... #accidentallywithpurpose the cornerstone of my life. Thank you @sophiechiche for taking the time. You are truly an inspiration. As for the Book guys ... you’ll have to hear / read her story from her. What I can say is at 21 she participated in a real sweat lodge and decades later Shape House was born. She did not plan that out. It was part of her journey but the result was not forecasted or even stirring inside. Wow 😲So Cool. Coincidence. Serendipity. I think not. Just part of her journey. And so it is.

This is a vacation photograph taken in July that turned into a Listing in September. In July after our Mediterranean cruise came to an end we disembarked in Rome and stayed the next few nights at The Hassler Hotel ... (#NoteToSelf) THH is ahhhmazing! .... ••• Rewind. A few months prior while enjoying breakfast at The Butcher, The Baker, The Cappuccino Maker on Sunset in West Hollywood, a friend from Piedmont, CA not (Piedmonte, Italy) called from Italy to introduce me to her friends she knew from SF/Marin and LA. Retirees who landed in Umbria a few years earlier after visiting friends. (That’s how fast things can happen in this glorious 🇮🇹 country! For the ❤️ of Italy.) Now fast forward we’re in Rome. We rented a car and drove 3 hours to Umbria where we met our new friends and enjoyed a lovely home cooked Italian lunch then toured their beautiful home. From “Lunch” in July, to “Just Listed” in September. And that’s how it happened...... Accidentally with purpose..... This elegantly appointed and renovated 3 bedroom 2.5 bath penthouse literally in the town’s clocktower is situated in the piazza of this small village called Umbertide. The town clock literally is in their home office. Seen here is a photo from the rooftop of this two level apartment penthouse. The Tiber River is just a stones throw away. Located in the Province of Umbria, just a half hour from Tuscany. It’s quite a popular spot for foreigners, a plethora of Brits, and celebrities seeking refuge. . Offered at 590,000 euros. . . #opportunity #accidentallywithpurpose #italy #manifestyourdestiny #losangeles #westhollywood #umbria #umbertide #provinceofitaly #tuscany #countryside #italianwayoflife #italaphile #clocktowerpenthouse #clocktower #realestateforsale #rootopterrace #tiberriver #italiancountryside #realestate #cocktailsandconversation #aperalspritz #thatsitalian #hotelhassler #rome #seabournencore #thebutcherthebakerthecappuccinomaker (at Umbertide) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bofm7dBH9Ai/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=rxkb0ozbgmu9

Stumbled up this photo from our fun day at the Sausalito Art + Jazz Festival. Than I came upon this quote about friends. Loved it. So I had to share. . Friends. Fight For You. Respect You. Include You. Encourage You. Need You. Deserve You. Stand By You. . Hug a friend today. . #AccidentallyWithPurpose #grateful #thankful #appreciative #friendshipquotes #friends #lovers #partners (at Debbi DiMaggio - Realtor Author Philanthropist)

How wonderful than to meet a new client and you’re able to invite him to an amazing event! Love when planets align. Say hi to Scott (left). Really quite impressive. Wise beyond his years. A determined go-getter. Maybe that’s why we vibe. And on his right. My Beverly Hills Real Estate Partner, Justin Fierro. Another amazing human being. As things seem to go #AccidentallyWithPurpose ... what seems to happen when you’re not looking. When planets align. When the universe conspires to give us what we need. In this case I needed a partner in LA. Someone who could keep up. I can’t say Justin can move quite as fast but he’s doing quite a good job. I’m super grateful to have him as a partner. . . . #gratitude #attitude #kindness #realestate #partnerincrime #beverlyhills #twilighttour #amazing #luxurylifestyle #luxurycars #luxuryhomes #accidentallywithpurpose #lovewhatyoudo #likemindedpeople #peelbacktheonionproductions

Every morning I search for the perfect quote. Something that speaks to me. A quote with meaning. Sometimes it’s a quote I discover, uncover or just hits me over the head like a ton of bricks. The quote sometimes pertains to what I am experiencing but oftentimes what I see others experiencing in their own lives. Divorce, change, conflict, death, new opportunities, growth ... It may be a friend, family member or new acquaintance, a stranger or a colleague. It didn’t take me long to stumble upon this one this Saturday morning. Rather within 4 minutes or less this quote materialized. It could not be more perfect for my new friend. It’s mind boggling how perfect. It gives me the chills and it makes me what to tear up. Yes, I’ve been told I’m a very passionate Sicilian more times than once. And add Mom to the mix + the passion + desire to comfort and care multiples 10 fold. I know change is not easy but as I always say, the rewards are numerous. I leave you with this .... We cannot become what we want by remaining what we are • No words are truer. . . . #morningmeditation #morninginspiration #morningmotivation #letsdothis #grow #change #evolve #jump #divein #trusttheprocess #foundation4success #ontheothersideof25 #quotesthatinspire #live #love #kindness #gratitude #passion #purpose #greatness #timing #appreciation #unplanned #beauty #magic #accidentallywithpurpose #containedbeauty #manifest #dreams #desires #goals (at Hollywood Hills)

If we do by accident what we can do with pure intention, just imagine how we can impact another human being. . #debbidimaggioquote . . #kindness #foundation4success #ontheothersideof25 #purejoyandgratitude #purejoy #gratitude #gratefullife #purpose #intention #accidentallywithpurpose #georgicapond #easthampton #thehamptons #morningmeditation #morningmotivation #morninginspiration #dream #see #share #lessonslearned #photographs #visions #experience (#iPhoto taken on my three x daily bike ride in East Hampton ) shared today in the #NapaValley #silveradoresort

Say Hello to Shawn. Techy . Hip Hop Producer + another Berkekey Grad. But where it came all together was when we chatted about our philanthropic interests and partnerships. It's always where I become most alive. On a side note. He told me the true story of TuPac and others. Sometimes truth is better than fiction yet sometimes fiction sells more than Non-Fiction. Always more to come. That was just 6 AM!! . . #WhosNext #containedbeauty #virginamerica #firstclass #accidentallyonpurpose #accidentallywithpurpose (at LAX Terminal 6)
