Hey people!! I know I haven’t blogged in a while, but to me if I have nothing worth writing about I would rather not waste anyones time and mine with nonsense. But, today is different, Friday June 6th was my last day at Situation Marketing as a Web Designer. This was one hard decision especially since I learned so much there and met so many great people that have each affected my life in a positive way.

My reason for leaving is purely based on my growth as a person and a professional. I have been there a year and I learned so much so fast I was no longer challenged with my daily tasks. My main purpose for working there was to learn more about the web in the first place and I did so it was time to move on. Then comes in the fact that more money was needed for my daily bills and etc. So my original thoughts from 2006 my graduation year came about, which was a thought of moving to another city.

Not just any city, but another big city where I can live the life style I have always wanted without a hassle of mixing and losing my personal life with my work life. Without living check to check and trying to move out on my own and can’t even get an apartment due to NYC’s horrible prices. You see most people from “The Hood” never make it out and some have never seen other states let alone another borough. After working with so many diverse people at Situation Marketing I noticed that almost everyone is from another city and even country. And after reading Ekart Tolle’s A New Earth, I started to challenge myself to get rid of everything that I am comfortable with. To remove all the things I have known and have attached to myself and identified as me, which are my neighborhood, my family, friends and just everything that I have know for all 25 yrs of my life. Don’t get me wrong I have family in Grenada, Trinidad and etc so I have traveled all over, but I haven’t lived at these places.

So after all the research and thoughts I have chosen Austin, TX. Yes Texas!!! I know most of you think ” ill Texas where all the cowboys are?”. And to that I say “grow up and explore more”. I am moving to Austin one of the best places for myself & Carmen to explore, learn and start our personal business ventures. Out of all places Austin has intrigued me because of all the great things I have always heard and when myself and my Girlfriend Carmen went on vacation it was amazing. I don’t think I have ever been so relaxed in my life at anytime in my life as I was when we stayed there.

So Carmen and I have been approved for our Apartment and will be moving middle of this month. Yes I said moving in June !!! Yes I know it is very soon, but we have some moves to make and if not now then when ? This is a fun time in my life and to achieve the lifestyle where I can live in peace and ensure than my family will also I have to take these chances now. So to all my friends and family feel free to come visit my door is open to you and I mean it. This isn’t the end this is the beginning.

Always remember everything has its purpose, I have learned it was my purpose to work at Situation Marketing to learn what I needed, It was my purpose to feel stressed about work and my salary because it was needed to trigger my original thoughts of moving from NYC in the first place. So to everyone I leave you these simple words, ” In order to do big things you need to think big” .
