It has been over a year and half since my last post. I thought I was going to be able to share my new life journey, but unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) I was so consumed with getting adjusted to this change that I have not had time to stop, think and just write. My mission is to share my thoughts on just about everything.
You are probably asking yourself why would you be interested in what I have to say. To be honest, I have no idea but maybe I can convince you. I would consider myself a young successful woman that is trying to balance a hectic/time consuming career with a life that keeps me smiling each and every day. It seems easy enough, but it is sometimes those little things that create the biggest obstacles. I have learned that happiness is something distinct and different to everyone. No one can make you happy other than yourself and it took me nearly 28 years to figure that out.
So here is to me writing something worth reading.

The Reason...
It has been a month and half since I made the biggest change in my life. So far so good...I have been trying to take advantage of my town and all the great things to do in close proximity. I have already been to the city (NYC) three times and was lucky enough to watch a Boston Red Sox v. New York Yankees in the tradition filled Yankee Stadium. It has been great. My job has been everything I expected... It is very different than my time at my former job, but I have been able to get a handle on what my duties are and have put my own touch on many different things. My goal is to make everyone's job easier and I believe I am on my way. Now if I can just cut down on the stupid little mistakes that would be great. That is just me trying way too hard.
You always fear that you would regret your decision, especially one that you can not easily take back. When I was making the decision there were many things that I had to consider. At the end of the day, there were many reasons I made the decision. This was my one opportunity to take a chance. A chance to really see what I was made of. In Gainesville, I knew I would always be okay. I knew there were people that cared about me and people that looked out for me. I knew I would always had a job I enjoyed and I would always have people to spend time with. At the same time I always felt that something was missing. I had always worked so hard and I never just wanted to be comfortable in life. And that is where I was at...comfortable and somewhat happy. Of course the change to CT did not come with any guarantees. I came up to New Haven with only two family members that lived within driving distance (Bronx, NY). I had a job that I knew was the right fit and provided more opportunity than I ever had at my former job. I knew when it came to friends that I am likeable enough that I will find my nitch, but it has helped that everyone that I have met has been amazing. I still think it has been easy because of a supportive family and great friends that I left behind. I have realized that your true friends will never let you feel the true distance.

My First Attempt
Okay, so I never thought I would do this. Creating a blog and sharing my life experiences with the world (that is if anyone actually decides to read this). As my profile states, I recently embarked on the new chapter of my life in CT. I left everything and anyone I have ever known for a job that I am hoping provides me the challenge that I felt I was lacking. I figured this was as good of a time as any as I was not leaving anyone behind and for some reason that whole change was exciting to me.
Through this blog I am hoping to catalog my life-changing experiences and giving others the strength and knowledge to know that you can do it and realize that the saying "the grass is not always greener" is just that a saying. I believe with the right attitude and mind frame you can accomplish anything.
