Who Is Brunch Network?

Earlier in the week you got to hear a bit about myself, and let’s be honest…  I would totally do all of those things without a doubt... and so would Jessica!  Jessica and I kind of stumbled into BFF status through corporate life, but if there’s anything I’ve learned from our growing friendship, it’s that there’s something slightly better than a supportive friend, and that’s a supportive friend who makes you wonder, think, and take action.

Taking on all of the above, Jessica has impacted my lifestyle in a positive way.  When we encounter dilemmas or anything that could potentially make for a bad day, we take a step back and look at everything from a glass half empty/glass half full point of view.  While this back-and-forth concept of perspective gets me every time, I will have you know that the two of us are pretty good at it.  Ultimately, it has evolved into the search for balance in our every day life.

Jessica and I are nearly opposite individuals.  We come from different backgrounds.  We have a different past life, and we live a different current life.  However, we have taken these things and let them complement each other, which led us to broaden our perspective.  Together, we can find the good in the bad, and see the bad in the good.  In essence, we have obtained the yin and yang in our friendship.

As co-founders of the Brunch Network, we’re providing a perspective.  But there is never just one way to look at an experience.  Yes, we may be two gals sharing the stories now, but we are documenting our experiences and adventures in hopes that yours may go slightly smoother, or maybe even make room for some of your own adventures.  Either way, we want to hear about it, and only encourage that you share your experiences too.  We want to hear and learn from you.  After all, we’re a network of people, experiences and inspiration.  We are the Brunch Network.

So, if your glass is half empty, maybe it’s time to mix it up a bit.  If your glass is half full, well, drink up, the rest of the world is waiting for you.

Cheers,
Pam

Why The Brunch Network?

You know those people who are often waiting for that “sign” to help them make major decisions? Or that “nudge” of motivation from something to encourage themselves to go out and do whatever it is that they are too afraid to do?  I used to be that person.

About a year ago, I was about to move in with my long time boyfriend and his daughter, I had a great job in a field I had absolutely no experience in, but enjoyed it, my previously rocky relationship with my parents was evolving into something I had always wished it would be. Life was great. But I felt like I was another face in the crowd, trying to fit in a mold that everyone else was already in.

I had a few pinterest boards where I pinned places I’d eventually like to visit, foods I’d eventually like to try, and hobbies I’d eventually like to learn. But that’s all they were; just ideas and wishes. Maybe when I had enough money and more time I would eventually do it, but when exactly is “eventually”? Then, I got that sign I didn’t know I needed ...and that sign came to be one of my closest friends and now, business partner. Pam is one of those people who will encourage you to do anything and she’ll be right there next to you. You want to go to Miami and salsa in little havana? Pam will have the flight prices and an AirBnB location ready to book. You want to take ukulele lessons? She’ll show up the next day with her ukulele and ready to meet the teacher when you’re ready. What better nudge do you need than a friend who’s ready and willing to help you pursue YOUR dreams?! And that’s why we have created this site: to give you that spark of possibility.

This blog is here to encourage you to meet new people, try new things and go to places you’ve only seen in pictures. We’re going to show you where the locals eat, how to meet new people, and experience things you wouldn’t have, without talking to them, and so much more. If there ever was a time to follow your dreams, it is now. Because if not now, when?

Cheers, 

Jessica
