Just Go

Pressing the reset button on my life was without a doubt the best decision I ever made! It’s been 3 weeks in the city and if I didn’t have a calendar or watch I’d say it’s been 3 months. NY feels like home. So much so that we already have a love/hate relationship. She’s my new disgusting haven. (Side note: What’s up with people here not covering their mouth when they sneeze. Uh, not cool.)

I love the randomness about New York. My new Saturday ritual consists of venturing out to a place I’ve never been. And as you can imagine, I have my options! Yesterday a thrift store quest landed me in Brooklyn Heights and I stumbled upon one of the most breathtaking views of Manhattan along with the most amazing pizza of my life. You see, thanks to my trusty iPhone I can get as lost as I want and find the quickest route back home within a matter of seconds.

I guess I’m getting high off not knowing what’s coming next. One day I can be home all by myself on a Friday night with nothing to do but dance in my pajamas (Charlie Wilson is the man)! And the next day I can be at a photo shoot for my new client (you all HAVE to check out Shanel Cooper-Sykes). And to top off the week I could end up Chicago-stepping at a fabulous barbecue in Harlem. Maybe I should change my name to Russell Stover’s. Get it? Box of chocolates. Ok I’m laughing all by myself.

Nevertheless, I’m here with an open heart and open mind and am loving every second of it. My new motto is ‘Just Go’. Go far, go high, go deep, go wide. And if you’re not going to go hard then go home.
