New York

Moving Day + Healthy Living Update (Week 3)

July 6, 2012

Moving day is upon me and I am cleaning up the last few scraps of my life here in NYC (literally and figuratively).  I said my goodbye’s to this great city yesterday, but it doesn’t hurt to say them one last time.

Good bye New York, thank you for a great year full of adventures, learning (about myself and my career), and freedom to pursue a dream. A dream that isn’t lost, but has been re-sculpted.  I am a big believer of dreams–having them and following them. Now onto following some more dreams of mine!

“Nothing ventured, nothing gained.” I have to say that, I have only gained from this past year.

On the healthy living update side of my life: I have done fairly good this week. I have splurged a little on pizza and frozen yogurt. I wanted to experience my favorite foods of New York before I left. I could have been worse and I could have been better, but I am going to be easy on myself this week.
Next week: back the being a HARD ASS!!! (Healthy living wise, I mean.)

Happy 5th of July

July 5, 2012

Yes, the title was on purpose. The day after the 4th of July: full of hung over people, sun burned to a crisp.

Thank goodness for independence!

My last full day in New York is upon me. Time to soak up my last hours here, because it may be a while before I come back for a visit.

Don’t be too sad, New York. I never can stay away from you for too long. You know how it is… Absence make the heart grow fonder…
I’ll miss walking in the park, your unmistakeable energy, all your crazy fashion… All that makes you so uniquely you.

As the quote says:
“Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard. Live in northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft.” 
I guess I am destined to be “soft.” But, I am okay with that. Maybe when I feel myself getting to soft, I’ll have to come for an extended visit so that I can harden up.

Good bye shortly, New York… or “till next time” is better!
