Forgive me friends, for I have been a bad blogger.

It's true- I have been so awful! For that I must apologize!!

Gosh, where has my life been since I last left you? Hm. Well I moved back to Atlanta for the time being. I know, I know- this might be a shock... especially since it was two months ago, haha. I left New York with a bittersweet farewell and the promise to return. I miss the city every day and I know in my heart that I'll be back there. It wasn't time yet. Simple as that. I rest assured knowing that those six weeks were some of the most life changing six weeks of my life and I honestly feel a bit changed for it.

I was home for a week, count it- seven days- when I got offered an amazing job for an amazing company and an amazing paycheck. Remember how I said that it wasn't time to stay in New York? This is why. If I wasn't here in Atlanta then I wouldn't have gotten this awesome job and met the amazing people I have and I wouldn't feel as great as I do right now.

Well, okay, not super great. I have a sinus infection and double pink eye- but spiritually I am awesome haha.

Thanksgiving was so good! I got to spend some long overdo time with my bestie Jessica and my family of whom I adore. My niece and nephew are getting so big and I swear even cuter every day! I came home from New York and Kenzie, who is two, is suddenly speaking in sentences. Sort of. Agh! I can't handle it.

I guess the big question is what do I do with this blog now that I'm not on some journey of self discovery in New York City? The only answer I can give is whatever I want, haha. It's an idea i kind of fell upon these past few months. I'm young and creative and talented and there's no rule saying that i have to have everything all together right now. I'm still baking, if I may use a cooking reference. Heck, I'm still dough being mixed together- I haven't even been rolled out on the flour yet.

I want to do so much with my life and for so much of it I've felt like I needed permission or to be asked to do it when in fact I've always had the power to make a move on my own. Before I left for New York I was prayed for by some amazing friends and leaders and Ami Stewert- one of the best people you will ever have the privilege of knowing if you get the chance- spoke a new boldness would come over me. I felt like I had failed her in New York because I didn't feel bold. I didn't feel any sort of empowerment. If anything I felt a bit weaker having been away from my friends and family in a new place- but those words weren't just for that period of time.

Those words were for my life as a whole. I'm finally starting to see it take shape now and I like it. I highly suggest you have leaders and friends speak over your life and speak into your heart- there's nothing like it.

Oh look, here I am prattling on. I'm off to take a hot shower and open my sinuses up, now. Thank you for sticking with me (Those who have, at least) and I am excited to see what happens next.
