Day 89

I want a rock! Boom …I want to Rock! So nothing great happened today. I didn’t go over my points but I missed my body conditioning because E had to work late. Adjei was quite crabby today so as soon as Ellison got home I ran to the store to pick up diapers and a few groceries. I love that I live so close to the city. I especially love that I live in a very active and safe neighborhood. And I REALLY love NYC at night.

I know you all have been wondering when I was going to do a little brag fest about myself. Well, you don’t have to wait any longer. When I was walking home from the train I was feeling so grateful about my life. I started to reflect and it occurred to me that I have gotten everything I’ve really wanted. It hasn’t been in the timing that I wanted but so far, my life is what I’ve dreamed it to be. I wanted to move to NYC since I was a little girl. I remember a dream I had in high school. I was in a phone booth and I was talking to my dad and I said, “Dad, I’m in New York City!” I had a friend who went to NYU for college and I was so envious because she was moving to NY and I wanted to go so bad. I remember my dad saying that it just wasn’t my time yet. Well my time came five years later. When I moved to NY I lived in one of the worst neighborhoods in the Bronx. The neighborhood was so bad that I literally would hear the crack dealers’ bird call and gun shots right outside my window. I am really not exaggerating. I lived in the Bronx for 7 years. Now I live in one of the hippest neighborhoods in Brooklyn. I certainly don’t qualify image wise but I’m an owner in a great neighborhood. I know that one day I will get a shot at every dream I’ve set for myself. I don’t say this to boast. I say this because I believe it is possible for everyone to reach his or her goals. It can be painful but the journey and the reflection makes it so worth it.

Tomorrow I will track what I eat and finish up reading some legal paperwork for my management company.
