A year ago today, I packed two suitcases and my iMac and moved to NYC. With tears in her eyes my mother said “quidate Mija te deso todo la bendicion del mundo” ( take care my darling, I wish upon you all the blessings in the world) I boarded my one way flight and took a deep breath. I was embarking in the biggest journey of my life and had no idea what the Lord had in store for me…
A year later as I look back all I can say is GOD IS GOOD!! The blessings, experiences, and people he has placed in my life is more then I could have ever asked for. As many of you know I work at a top NYC Talent Agency in which I started as an intern then later hired on as an Agent. I seriously LOVE my “day” job. I’ve mentioned before how much I adore my boss as well as the talent we represent. The people I have met and doors that have been open for my are truly priceless.. De & Frances if you read this… THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING you do for me!!
I can’t say that my journey has been easy because it hasn’t! Before I moved my father said to me “Life won’t be easy, but it is within that struggle that you appreciate the great things you will accomplish.” I would not change any of the trials and tribulations I experienced this past year because they have made me a stronger, wiser, and humbler person. I always tell people “its the little things” that make the world special.
I could not have survived with out the people who have been around me, my true support system. The Lords grace is amazing as the saying goes “God doesn’t give you the people you want … He gives you the people you NEED – to help you, to hurt you, to leave you, to love you and to make you into the person you were meant to be.” .. and thats what he’s done for me! A HUGE thank you to my “northeast” support team Drenita, Mackenzie, Chris, Louie, Renee, Monica, Melissa, Bola, Dretta, Eruby, Jen & Shel, The Menzi’s, Link & Zinga. You guys are ALL ANGELS!!! I cannot forget my “down south” support team who have been there as well my family, Raquel, my Sorors, David, Mirella & Gizzo, Harold, Stef, Aly, Toya, Vale… Love you bunches!! Thank you ALL for believing in me!
So what’s next?
I’ll be in NYC for as long as NYC will have me 🙂 hehe… I love it here and am looking forward to all the adventures ahead.
Below are just some of my “best memories” this year…
*smooches*
Little things like this just make my day!! Each day I fall in love with G-Mail more and more.. Just when I think somethiing can’t be done, it can! I love the fact that I can seamlessly merge all my accounts together and not have to flip back and forth.. Everything is nice and labled, making lil ol’ me VERY happy!! 🙂
