793 Days in the Making.

Two years ago when I began this blog, I had a big dream and a lot of words. I dreamed of a life immersed in the world of music business, entertainment industry, and Nashville. I dreamed of being on my own, working for that "perfect" company, and being the best version of myself that God created me to be. I wrote a lot of wise things and had a lot of great advice to give...but through it all I was freaking out.

I was living my life one day at a time like I was always taught to do, but those days added up fast and became years and that's when the patience and waiting took a turn for the worst. Fortunately, I have a lot of amazing people in my life who have kept the positivity and encouragement flowing more continuously than Niagra Falls.Those people are the true heroes in my story and I am forever grateful for them because I doubted myself, my abilities, and my dreams constantly.

With that being said, the day I have been anxiously (and not so patiently) waiting for, is drawing near. On March 2, 2015 I will make the biggest life-change to date. I will be moving to Nashville, Tennessee with nothing more than a plane ticket and credit card. This has been one of the scariest and hardest decisions I have ever made. I am leaving two wonderful jobs behind, saying goodbye to the friends who have quickly become my family, and flying out of my parents nest where I have spent the better part of 24 years.

I have no zero idea what the next 6 months are going to look like. I have yet to find a place to live or work. I am going in completely blind and I could not be more excited. Every day since the decision was made has been a roller coaster of emotions. This is the first time in my life I will be completely and terrifyingly stuck in a place of uncertainty.

I have 2 weeks to the day left in the beautiful state of Arizona with its sunsets more beautful than a dream, Mexican food on every corner, and memories never to be replaced. This is the first day of my next chapter, and I pray that I continue to keep eating the elephant one bite at a time.
