It's been so damn long since I've written on this site.  Where do I even begin? The past year has been a series of incredible highs and lows. I faced a lay-off, took time off, ran out of money and now have to ask my landlord for an extension on the rent. There is never and I-repeat-never dull moment in my life.  I've been on a roller coaster of emotions from uncanny calm to complete paralyzing fear. You know what? I will make it through. I have no doubt about it.  

I can't predict what the future will bring & won't worry about it.  I'm giving my time to the here and now. Life has shown me that it can change in the blink of an eye for good or for bad.  I am just going to look my fear in the eye when needed and move from there.   I'm giving myself (2) more years in my current location and then heading back to NYC.  I miss it so much and didn't really feel it until I spoke w/my aunt and sister over the holiday weekend.

I have learned so much about myself and have no regrets about moving to CA.  None.  It's been over 10 years and I feel the call of my family and the city of my birth.  There are certain financial/professional goals I will achieve here in Cali before my time is done.  My re-birth began when my former company severed ties and I am excited about the possibilities.

Cheers!
