On the Subway Now...

It's finally making sense!! I can actually say I'm learning the freaking subway system. Now granted, it's only certain trains but the concept of uptown, downtown, have your metro card out before you make it to the swipe area (just in case you have to make a mad dash in three inch heels for the closing doors) is actually sinking in. Time and time again I figure...heck I'm going to end up in Brooklyn...I know it! I mean, there is no possible way that I could end up in Brooklyn seeing how the train I usually get on does not go any where near it, but knowing me I'd somehow find my way in the BK. (Don't ask). But, as I disappear down the stairs, swipe my metro, and wait impatiently between the walls of humidity and staleness; I find that as long as I know what stop I'm looking for, transferring trains or finding my way to the surface is not as hard as it once seemed two weeks ago.

The Big Move...

"Faith is taking the first step, even when you don't see the whole staircase". MLK Jr.

That's exactly what I did. Took that first step without seeing the whole staircase in front of me. Packed up my belongings (after careful consideration of course) and moved to the Big Apple-the city where all my dreams reside. It took a lot and with all the nervous butterflies in my stomach, I swallowed hard and moved. Took that first leap to becoming who I've dreamt so many nights alone in my room. Eyes closed tight, fist clenched I frog leaped straight into the pool of New York City. And now that I'm coming up for air...I can finally breathe. Ahhh...City Lights and Big Dreams.

XOXO
