My, My, My, where has the time flown! It’s hard to believe that I have kept myself grounded in New York City for 2 years. Last year I rejoiced in having made it through the biggest “leap on faith”.

Today I am rejoicing in the simple fact that the Lord has continued to bless me.

I have realized that I AM a city girl.

Trains, people, noise all agree with me.
Have found a new LOVE for reading
Gotten addicted to Ice coffee, Cabs, Editing in the park
Perfected the art of “traveling light”
Walked from 23rd-130th street just because
Realized I do not “think with child” and I am ok with that. 🙂
Attended so many fabulous “free” events
Fallen in love with ANYTHING passion fruit.
Lost some loved one
Single + Loving it

Since last year I have been living the best of both worlds. As many of you know I am originally from Florida and my family still resides there.  Business has kept me busy and allows me to travel there every 5-6 weeks. Being able to work and see my family has been the best part of this year. I know Pearly appreciates it. 😉

I’m still living in Harlem (which I love). I have explored my neighborhood and have realized my favorite avenue has to be Amsterdam. Within the past year Olinka and Louie have moved within blocks of me so having Harlem buddies has been ubber delightful! I am still waiting for Drenita, Raquel, and Melissa to make their way over but I know that will happen in due time. 😉

JUMP Management has been keeping me busy and I finally feel like I know the “biz”. I can negotiate deals with confidence, man the office, and scout new talent all on my own. My NY parents De+Frances have continued to be extremely supportive and loving.  I really don’t know what I would have done without them. 🙂

So many friends have come to visit this past year its hard to keep count and my calender has yet to become dull. Friends if you are reading do continue to come and visit!! 🙂

My relationship with NY is becoming stronger then ever and I think soon I will be able to fully commit. By commit I mean getting a NY State License, that a big deal to me! Miami is still and will always be my “home” but she has a tough competitor because this city is stealing my heart more and more everyday.

Happy 2nd Anniversary my love.
