I always knew I’d come back to this. My digital safe space. I haven’t forgotten about this blog. Really. I’m a writer at heart but I knew that somehow I had to prioritize other things in my life and put this on hold. As they say, everything happens for a reason, a season or a lesson. I feel I had all three these past few years.

And yes, I’m well aware that it has been YEARS since I last updated my lil’ corner of the web. Too many things that had happened. BUT this is not about rehashing the past. It’s about looking into the future.

Not in a fortune-teller-read-your-palms kind of way.

I just turned 29 exactly 12 days ago. Yeah it hasn’t sunk in yet. I’m in the last leg of officially being called a twenty-something.

But before you roll your eyes and tell me to wait until I get to my thirties, I’d like to reflect on  Year 28. Besides, it’s my blog, I can type what I want to… 😉

An hour later, I find myself struggling to bring the luggages out of the train and into the platform. I looked around for the elevator so I can be on my way. Fifteen minutes later, I was dismayed to find none. You’ve got to be kidding me…

As you may have noticed, I’ve been slow changing the layout of this blog for the last few days. I was hoping to finish everything before the start of September but I was tying a lot of loose ends before I leave. That includes 2 failed attempts to change my Florida driver’s license to an Oklahoman one. A sign, perhaps? Hmmm…

Everyone who knows me know there are only 2 sports I watch. One of them is basketball, specifically the NBA. I wasn’t really into basketball before I moved to Miami but I distinctly remember moving in ’06 and watching the Heat take the championship that year. I was partying with Shaq, Wade and the rest of them in downtown MIA when they had their championship parade. I’ve only watched Heat games for the most part and nearly died when they lost to the Mavs last year. Still hurts talking about it..
