And She Dreamed of Paradise
I have been back for a couple days now from my whirlwind Southern California to Northern Cal trip. I left you guys off in Huntington Beach (I know, not a bad location, huh?) so I guess you guys want all the juicy details of my trip to NoCal. Maybe??? OK, OK you don't...
Going to California
To say the last couple of days have been AMAZING is an understatement. I have made some great friends since I started surfing and I continue to meet and foster new relationships. Pretty much I feel blessed to be surrounded by such wonderful people: family, new and old...
Ping Ponging
So in the span of one week, I have travelled I-95 from New Jersey all the way down to Florida. Wait, Florida?! I know, you guys thought I was in Georgia. Well, in the midst of all the unpacking and sorting out all of my belongings that I had shipped from my NYC...
Georgia On My Mind
So the past couple of months have been a true whirlwind with a lot of changes in my life. If you have been following my prior posts, you know that I have been a busy bee. However, in between all the packing, unpacking, repacking, and then unpacking again (this is what...
Now or Never
Drum roll please...It's official, today is my last day working at my current job. I definitely learned a lot over the past couple of years about business and myself, as well as made some great friends. However, as most people do, I was facing roadblocks and obstacles...
Namaste
Almost two years ago I was persuaded by my former roomie to attend a yoga class with her. I was doubtful that I was going to like it and I even went to the gym that morning before my first class to get my workout in. Gosh, I had not even been to class yet and I was...
Dog Days of Summer
Meet Yeltsin. He is an adorable five year old yellow lab that thinks he is a person (he certainly has me fooled). Y'all got a sneak peak of this this amazing canine in my post Teacher's Pet because he is such a brown noser. Well, I thought I should properly introduce...
We Will Never Forget
I live and work in the city that never sleeps. New York City changes so fast that you may go to sleep one night and the next a completely different establishment has taken over the space. One day there is an Italian place down the corner from my apartment, the next it...
Practice Makes Perfect
OK, so by now y'all know that I have an addiction called yoga that I love to talk about (hey, there could be worse things). As I mentioned in my post Down Dog Dilemma and my other yoga posts, I kinda fell into yoga, and this awesome practice could not have come at a...
Summer is a Frame of Mind
Did the summer really fly by that fast? I feel like I was just saying "I can't believe summer is finally here" yesterday. My summer certainly has been filled with awesome activities with great friends, but super busy (check out my post Hell-Raiser to Rock- Ette). With...
Worth a Thousand Words
The downside to living 4 blocks from the beach is that I now have a longer commute. However, I decided to look at the upside and "magically" I now finally have time to catch up on my reading list. In the past couple weeks I have finished a couple of books (definitely...
With A Little Help From My Friends
Happy Monday! I am happy to report that Rockaway is treating me well, although come Mondays I need a day off from my weekends! Since moving in, my weekends have been spent with a caravan of my friends catching the A train to visit my new digs. I am now honing my...
