I was a boy on an island yet to be a man.
A Boy & His Island
Being young and living in Manhattan on an Island connected to a city that never sleeps is an adventure and an experience many dream about but only a few will share their tale.
All my family and friends are there. I never imagine, losing my job and my marriage after 11 years to eventually leave New York for a new perspective on life.
To boldly step outside of my comfort zone from under the streetlights away from the food, the people, the electric, the flashing lights, the glitz, the glamour of the Big Apple and move to Atlanta, the south, the unknown was a 180 degree of a change. I’ve never been here before.
To live in a state without employment, without friends or family was like standing on an Island looking out to sea for a ship that’s not going to arrive. I would not be denied success. That Island up north nourished and prepared me for my new experience and for all that would be expected to find in the wilderness of a southern state.
God and the universe has a plan and she will never let you down. God is not going to get you to your destination safely and later abandon you. Especially, if you’ve identified the gift that’s within you. Your gift, your talent is special.
Always, know your worth because that new person is searching for you. Your new career is waiting and that new home has your name attached to it. You can never be replaced. I was a boy existing on an island yet to be a man and today I can proudly say, God has her plan.
Her Sun today is living and has become a man.
Harlem,
Heaven is at the foot of Mother…
