And the countdown begins!

Chances are if you're reading this, you already know me. With that being said, I will skip right to the good stuff. As you all know (or now know) I was offered a position with a reputable consulting firm in Virginia. I was supposed to begin Oct. 8th, but found out today that has been moved up to Sept. 24th leaving me with 11 days to pack up and tie up any loose ends before leaving. Its been a long time coming and while this is everything i've hoped for for the past two years, its not without its sacrifices. In order to make this move, I have to leave my family here when they need me the most, leave my one-man cheer leader/friend/lover/supporter here in the A, press the pause button on obtaining my Masters, leave my organization (www.kopeinc.org) without a PR rep, among a host of other things (friends, extended family, etc.). Honestly, its really bittersweet. I welcome the challenge, the change of pace, the salary, etc., yet I leave so much behind. To my support group and prayer posse (you know who you are) thank you and I love you.

Who knows what the future will hold. Sometimes you have to step out on faith...i'm stepping out! On the other hand, I will be in a new city with untapped malls and a boat load of tourism to perform. This will be my very own "Sex in the City" (w/o the sex of course...well unless you-know-who-comes to visit...lol).

This blog will be your opportunity to follow me as I grow professionally, personally, and spiritually. Feel free to engage yourself, give advice, or even criticism...I can take it. Watch out! When D.C. meets Riverdale, heaven only knows what will happen! Pray for your girl!


XOXO,

Akuba
