Keep knocking, and the door will be opened to you.”

Happy Friday! It has been a stressful, yet exciting week! I FINALLY found an apartment!!!! I signed the contract yesterday and will be moving on November 1st to my new studio apartment. I feel like a weight has been lifted off of me. Now is the worst part– the waiting period when I have to get all of my ducks in a row and can’t do anything until moving day. I want it to be tomorrow– I am so ready to move! I am staying in the same location in Manhattan that I am currently am living, so will not be sharing where I am moving to. I looked all over Manhattan, even Brooklyn, but knew that I truly wanted to stay in my current area. My studio is pretty big with TWO closets (praise the lord!!), a dishwasher, and an elevator. In NYC this is truly a luxury ha.

Happy Friday! This week was a lot better than the previous one when I was in a terrible mood. This week I am like the rainbow after the storm, Judy Garland and Barbra Streisand singing “Happy Days Are Here Again”.  That’s the beauty of going through storms, when you finally step into the light, into happiness it feels 10 times better.

“Believe that things can suddenly change for you. Don’t worry about how and when.

Just deeply believe in the possibility of a new outcome.

It can all be so different than what you’re currently experiencing.

Nothing is ever final. Let that bring you peace and give you hope today”

Happy Friday!!  You can call me Jekyll and Mr. Hyde because I’ve been feeling some pretty intense oppositional emotions this past week. One minute I am happy-go-lucky, giggling, feeling grateful for everything, then the next minute want to flip over a table and yell at someone. #balance.

“Life gets very quiet before all the doors open.

I’m learning that what can feel like loneliness is actually grace.

Rest. Find your strength. It will all change soon.”

Happy Friday! September has been a busy month so far and it looks as if it will not slow down anytime soon. After a semi-slow summer, it was a shock to the system to jump headfirst into events and meetings galore. But I have been enjoying myself tremendously and have been loving seeing my friends on a more regular basis.
