Ten.

My darling friend C just marked the ending (beginning?) of a 12 year cycle.
And I am inspired by her now to discuss much ado about a decade.
TEN YEARS.

I've been putting this blog off for a week (I mean, I simply had to prepare for my trip to Hollywood)
Last Wednesday - the 17th to be exact marked the 10th anniversary of when I first landed on a little old town called New york.

Oh how my life would change.

I remember thinking, "Well, I don't know if I like it here...but it's certainly brimming with opportunity."
I was so young.  I still am. 
The knowledge and hard knocks and WISDOM that invaded my soul since November 17th, 2000...
My God, it feels like 25 years ago.

A lot has changed since then. 
I've lived in several different places, travelled, and most importantly I become an aunt.  An added bonus that keeps me "soft" in a city that can harden many.
Perhaps the biggest lesson of all, was learning the true meaning of the word SACRIFICE.

What is it with the number 10?  From symbolic-meanings.com:
"If the number One symbolizes the beginning (& it does), then we can say that the number Ten represents the outcome, result, or achievement of that first step or beginning."

I came to New York in hopes of pursuing a career in entertainment.
And 10 years to the day of my first arrival, I headed to Los Angeles in hopes of promoting a TV show that I helped make happen.

Was it all worth it?
I think so.

To be continued...

Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
and I say it's all right
