Goodbye Seattle, hello New York

Leaving Seattle was tough and bittersweet. I only hope that I meet New Yorkers as wonderful as the friends I have made in the past ten or so years. Last night, while at dinner with friends the reality of my situation hit me. I felt nervous, uncertain and scared. Seattle has always been my comfort zone and New York well it’s a massive place that others always warn you about. Even though I’m confident that this move was the right thing to do I’m still a bit freaked out. Hopefully the feeling will pass soon.

I arrived this morning safe and sound to my new, but temporary, digs in the East Village. There’s a coffee shop below my great apartment called Ciao for Now that sells fabulous pumpkin bread (an Erin favorite) and a psychic reader across the street who will tell me my future for $5. Word around the neighborhood is she’s a prostitute and the shop is really a front for her more profitable business. Ha!

Many more New York stories to come…
