"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.
