soulful convergence


Hi, Monday! Although I wasn't nearly prepared for the weekend to come to a close, I am glad to get on with my week. As promised to myself, I had a date with my city. I postponed it to Saturday since I ended up going to grab some amazing Mexican noms with a couple of my buds and enjoyed a brew after at our local watering hole. Saturday was spectacular outside and after working at the office, I decided I deserved a reward. Dressed in my workout clothes, I headed on foot to Central Park. While I didn't have a goal in mind other than spending time in the Conservatory, a plan quickly formed and I had no choice but to abide by it. I decided to walk/run the length of Central Park and make my way through some of the trails. It was the best day I have spent in the city since living here. Not only did it rekindle my awe of this place, it reminded me that exercise can no longer be ignored. I am back, folks! Couple that with a fantastic Sunday full of friends, brunch and laughter; I feel rejuvenated, excited and full of wander lust. It's about damn time.

As an aside, I deleted my online dating profile so I can give myself a chance to truly connect to friends, places and my work. I just wasn't ready for it and my need for external validation got the better of me. Like I said before, if God wants me to get laid, it will brought forth. I am going to focus on myself and my relationship with my new life. I am no longer working from a place of deficit, trying to fill all the holes with distractions. I have rolled up my sleeves and have begun to build my empire from the foundation up. It will take time, but I willing to give patience a try.
