TRANSITION AND NEW BEGINNINGS

People always say change is good. I like to think that it is more challenging than simply good. Moving to Los Angels 8 years ago from Chicago was good. It took me away from my comfort zone( family and friends ) and placed me somewhere to trust GOD and only him to succeed in what challenges life had in store for me. I can truly say that I have had my share of challenges, struggles, downfalls and failures but on the other hand I have had an experience of a lifetime, met a few new associates and friends(not too many). I have had success, growth, maturity and loves. I have learned so much about myself that it has caused me to really step back and look into the mirror and be truthful to myself.
Everyone says that California is full of fake and phony people although this is partially true it;s usually the people that relocate to California are the fake and phony. You get phonies everywhere. ( except NY LOL). That brings me to the point of this entry.

My stay in California will end mid November. I am at the next phase of my life and that is NY. Well actually NJ, but close enough to NY. My journey will take me to New Jersey to see what GOD has planned for me there. I believe nothing is done by accident or circumstance but in divine order. I contemplated, prayed and meditated on this move because my original destination was back to Chicago. I have always wanted to live in Brooklyn so I guess Jersey will have to do for now. Am I scared? No, Just a little nervous. Moving into a new life experience is always a shock. I'm just taking it one step at a time.

- side bar-
I just want to publicly thank someone for introducing me to this thing called BLOG. They did it without even knowing that they did it. I started reading his blog 10 months ago and reading all the bloggers that he had on his list. Mind you I have been knowing this person for more than 11 years and we lost contact. His God Father is one of my best friends and former roommate. BOBBY BROWN JR thank you for opening my eyes to a whole different world of self. By reading your words, commentaries, cuts, insights and proclamations I have come to accept myself. Something that I have always failed to do previously. Yea, it appeared as if I had it all together but a lot of us have mastered the art of wearing masks. Thank you sir for helping me to remove the mask.

-I digressed-

So, by mid November I will reside on the east coast and look forward to all the opportunity that life has for me. Hopefully I can take blog land on the journey with me. Two others that I want to acknowledge on here.

Sir Trent - Yo man, it was a pleasure meeting you at the ABBEY in July ( I was the guy in all white with the locs. Remember you asked for a pic?). Never change man. Be you. Oh, and yes you are shy and quiet in person.

Sir Dayne- The Book. What can I say. I love it, I love the insight that you have. Don't give up the dream man, and the quest to find self never really ends because there is always more to gain, learn and experience.

That's it for now. I think I have rambled enough.

Peace and Blessing
